This was due to a subscriber of the aide package being known under two different emails varying only on the case. I don't know how this happened because all the code should identify emails case-insensitively and not create a second instance of the same email. The email sending code assumes that we have a single UserEmail object associated and it raises an exception when it tries to send the mail to that address. Thus the email to forward was stuck in the "temporary failure" case and was retried a few times until giving up, hence the multiple copies for the the other subscribers. Let me know if the problem persists. I will leave the ticket open to remind me to improve the code to cope with the multiple unexpected UserEmail objects for a single email...
