Hello,

A 2.7.9 discourse instance has a zero entropy set to allow duplicate topics.

And it works fine when **two** topics are created via email even though the incoming email is 100% identical. However, when there are **three** identical topics in the same email batch, the third one is rejected.

Here is an example of what shows in the **Received** tab of the mail admin panel:

The last mail shows in black, which indicates it was rejected. And when looking at the **Rejected** tab, it is indeed:

The reason is **Corps est trop similaire à ce que vous avez récemment posté** which is the french translation of **Body is too similar to what you previously posted** (in case there was any doubt about that 😉 ).

Any idea about the reason for this unexpected behavior?
