What does this "routine maintenance" consist of, and what does the
LISTSERV log say about these messages going out?

Also, examine and compare the Received: headers of the first, second
and third times the message went through, to see exactly how they
managed to go through multiple times (what path did they take? where
is the looping occurring?)

I second Pete recommendation about Send=Editor,Hold,CONFIRM. The
"Confirm" is super important for newsletter-type lists to prevent
spoofing and funny bounces being redistributed.
