To debug this, you'll need the *complete* headers from 2 posts that are
duplicated.  In particular, you'll need all the Received: headers - looking
at them will tell you what's going on.  One of two things is probably
happening:

1) Some brain-dead mail server is sending back the posts - identifiable
because *all* the Received: are different, and form a loop listserv-mailer-
offending site-mailer-listserv.

2) Listserv send out one copy, and some mail server is failing to acknowledge
that the next hop mailer is recieving it, so it's re-sending it.  In this
case, the Received: headers will be identical up to the point the message
got cloned.
