[OpenSER-Users] PUA/PUA_MI: More than one Publish sent

Hi Sebastian,

The second Publish seems to be a retransmission. Make sure to create a 
new transaction before calling the handling functions in your 
configuration file, so that retransmission are caught.
You should put something like :
    if (!t_newtran())
    {
        sl_reply_error();
        exit;
     };
before  handle_publish.

regards,
Anca Vamanu
