You have a subscriber who's gateway is "reflecting" the message back to
LISTSERV rather than bouncing it according to standards. Looking at the
full headers of the duplicates should give you a clue on who this
subscriber is. You will notice in the archives, each duplicate message has
an additional 6 lines of text. The is the additional received headers
which will point to the offender.
