You have a mail loop.  Look closely at the headers of the second 'rejected'
message.  You will see that message has already passed through LISTSERV once and
gone somewhere else and is bouncing back from there in a way that does NOT
change the original From: header line so this is why LISTSERV thinks it is
another copy of the same message from you.  Figure out who the subscriber is
(sometimes the actual address is found in the headers, sometimes only the domain
is found) andset them to NOMAIL or delete them entirely and the problem will
stop.
