Description

Setup:
1) Create a new forum
2) Enable the post-by-email function (and create the associated email address)
3) Send an email post
4) Send a second identical post
5) Attempt to visit the forum - denied

We use one of our Tiki forums to archive contents from a mailing list - we have a dedicated address which is enrolled in said (external) list. This normally works great, except we were unable to visit the specific forum recently - the error message notified us that duplicate name and content posts were prohibited. It turns out the mailing list sends out regular (monthly) notifications which happen to be identical. It seems that that the POP server is polled when the forum is accessed - the message is obtained, and the post attempt it denied, and effectively locks the user out of the forum.

Verified on the opensourcecms 1.9.11 demo site.
