Today for no apparent reason, as we have not changed any
of the list headers recently...   we began to experience an oddity.

Every time someone posts to one of our list(s) they will receive
a notification of message rejection due to duplication of an earlier
post, even though the message posts...  here is the message:

My Postmaster is not replying and my fellow listowners on this server
