Every once in a while I too get complaints from folks who get multiple
copies of certain mailings on certain (random) lists.  In *EVERY* case so
far I have been able to determine that the fault was at either their local
mailer or some mailer between UB and their machine that was replicating
mail due to disk quota problems or something of that nature.
 
When I get a complaint of duplicate mailings, I ask that person to forward
me the duplicate mail so that I might have a real good look at the headers
to try and determine where the problem is.  I suggest you do the same and
if you need assistance learning this type of 'detective' work, then ask
this list for specific help.  That's what we're here for.
 
Good luck.
