If LISTSERV says it's a duplicate, I'd have absolutely no doubt that it's a duplicate. The first one is distributed to the list, the second duplicate message is sent to you as an error. The most likely cause of this is a mistyped ADD command which ended up adding the list to itself. So if the list is subscribed to the list, the list will receive a copy of anything posted to the list and thus generate a complain about duplicate mail.
