PHPMailer Duplicate Emails

Inconsistent duplicate emails occurring when using php mailer.

Function that mails:

function SendEmail($to,$cc,$bcc,$subject,$body) {
    require( GetPHPMailPath() );
    $mail = new PHPMailer();

    $addresses = explode(',', $to);
    foreach ($addresses as $address) {
        $mail->AddAddress($address);
    }
    if($cc!='') {
        $mail->addCustomHeader("CC: " . $cc);
    }
    if($bcc!=''){
        $mail->addCustomHeader("BCC: " . $bcc);
    }
    $mail->IsSMTP();
    $mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
    $mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";                 // sets the prefix to the servier
    $mail->Host       = "smtp.gmail.com";      // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
    $mail->Port       = 587;   
    $mail->Username = "[email protected]"; // SMTP username
    $mail->Password = "password"; // SMTP password
    $webmaster_email = "email"; //Reply to this email ID
    $name=$email;
    $mail->From = $webmaster_email;
    $mail->FromName = "Service";
    $mail->WordWrap = 50; // set word wrap
    $mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML
    $mail->Subject = $subject;
    $mail->Body = $body;
    return $mail->Send();
}

How I am calling the function:

echo SendEmail($toAddress,$ccAddress,$bccAddress,$subject,$body);

The really odd part about this whole ordeal is that it is inconsistent which means there may be nothing wrong with the code but the connection to gmail?

Any ideas maybe its a php.ini problem?

This was a lag related issue.

PHPMailer functioned properly. User was sending duplicate requests. Fixed by adding comparison check with MySQL database records.
