There's your clue ... it is a HOTMAIL problem, or the mail server that it
trying to sent to hotmail users.  It is NOT a LISTSERV problem.

Set these folks to DIGEST.

For a proper analysis, you would need a hotmailer to send you two
distributed with all RFC email headers namely the RECEIVED lines.  Read
those headers from the bottom UP and look at the first place that they
differ.  That will be where the transmission mechasism (MTA) is repeating
the sending.
