Upon navigating to /admin/config/system/smtp after enabling the module, a green system alert says:

* SMTP.module is INACTIVE.

When saving new settings with the module enabled from the settings page, the green system alert displays:

* SMTP.module is INACTIVE.
* The configuration options have been saved.
* SMTP.module is active.

If resaving the settings page again without disabling the module:

* SMTP.module is active.
* The configuration options have been saved.
* SMTP.module is active.

The system alert must be printing the original alert plus the changed state alert. It does not affect the module's functionality but a system message tweak could improve the user experience.

Did a little more digging. The issue could be related to this core issue: http://drupal.org/node/982814

Not sure but thought I'd include it.

I have noticed this as well and although minor a bit annoying at the same time, but lets wait until the patch in #982814: Messages are generated too early has been committed.

Hi yettyn, looks like #982814: Messages are generated too early didn't solve this as I still get the same results with Drupal 7.0

If you'd like to peruse a fix, cool. Otherwise we can let it go and mark it closed (won't fix). You're call.

Following doctors order, I've had a short break enjoying hospitalization and treatment of a health condition I have with one of my ears and while being away D7 was released... so first have to bring everything up to date and will then take a look possibly suggesting a solution. So just leaving as is for now... but I'm back.

As there currently is a discussion about removing smtp_on variable, these messages would eventually disappear completely. So let's wait for #1663008: Variable "smtp_on" doesn't actually disable anything... to advance before going further with this one.
