We have hit a very odd problem at the maelstrom listserv that I think is a
bug and potentially a security problem.

I had a day earlier in the week, and then today where posts that had been
submitted a few days earlier suddenly showed up on the list.  The only
difference, other than the header information I'll detail below, is the
banner is duplicated.

That is particularly odd is it appears that a roadrunner server is receiving
the posts, then reinjecting the posts back to the listserv, and the listserv
software is passing them on.

I run a semi-moderated lists.  Two of the posts I had to approve for
distribution.  The duplicates came though without requiring confirmation.
Of the duplicates, non originate from roadrunner.

Then, after getting the duplicates, another duplicate post claiming that it
originated from my list address came back to me for approval.

And a user just forwarded an error from the listserv claiming they had
exceeded their posting limit.  The post was another duplicate already posted
(and not needing moderator approval) May 6.
