I am not sure how Majordomo works but Listproc checks both the Message-ID:
and does a MD5 hash of the message body to prevent duplicates form going
out to the list. I am subscribed to 5 of the CP nodes and on my last mail
grab I have 69 messages for each list. Looking through them I don't see
any duplicates. I noticed that this message was addressed to the toad.com
address. This may be the source of the problem. I am not subscribed to
that address and if you are you should switch to one of the other nodes.
