Are you SURE that the same message was posted three times v. distributed
three times?  E.g., did you check the archives for mutliple copies?

This almost always is a rogue subscriber's mail agent that it looping the
email back to the list making it appear as if the original sender was
rebroacasting it.

If this is the case, then you would need to take a close look at the
additional distribution's email headers e.g., RECEIVED lines looking for
where LISTSERV's mail agent delivered to the subscriber.  THEN using your
list of subscribers, see if you can pinpoint the offender and set to
NOMAIL or DIGEST, or delete.

Then again perhaps this wasn't the case and it is a rogue mail transfer
delivery problem making it appear as if it was being listserv processed
multiple times.  THEN you need to work with the LISTSERV site's
postmaster to interrupt that process.
