1 I am really not sure how you are attributing this to anything on my end, but
2 I can assure you ... that is not the case. I noticed a couple of other
3 messages were also duplicated from other posters. There is or was something
4 wrong with the gentoo.org MTA.

20 Most likely the list server believed the message may not have been
21 delivered, so it sent the message a second time on the assumption that two
22 copies of the message is better than none. The reason it thinks this can
23 be either something on its end or on yours.

26 If you want no duplicates (note that this will cause you to only get one
27 copy of messages that are sent both to you and to the list, as this
28 message is), you can use this very simple procmail recipe:
29
30 :0 Wh: msgid.lock
31 | formail -D 8192 ${PMDIR}/msgid.cache
32
33 I actually have this recipe applied after I filter lists into seperate
34 Maildirs - before list filtering I use a modified version which applies
35 only to mailing lists, thereby allowing group replies to be seen in both
36 my inbox and the list. If you want to do that, copy this recipe to
37 somewhere before you filter lists and change the cache and lock file
38 names. Then add between the two lines above this condition line, or one
39 rather like it which catches all mailing lists you receive:
40
41 * (^(((X-)?Mailing-List)|List-Id):)
42
43 Now if only spam were this easy to catch and kill.. ;)
