Look at your logs on darwin.ctyme.com. It submitted the message to the list server twice: Received: from smtp8.junkemailfilter.com ([69.50.231.8]:33800 helo=darwin.ctyme.com) by sesame.csx.cam.ac.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.54) id 1I95z8-00040Z-B5 for [email protected]; Thu, 12 Jul 2007 22:14:04 +0100 Received: from smtp8.junkemailfilter.com ([69.50.231.8]:46696 helo=darwin.ctyme.com) by sesame.csx.cam.ac.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.54) id 1I95wM-0003g4-4S for [email protected]; Thu, 12 Jul 2007 22:11:45 +0100 Interesting that you mention bsmtp in your post - if that fails when the sending end thinks the message is not complete, but the receiving end thinks it is, you can get duplication. You shouldn't, but you can. You should always autoflush buffers if you're wrapping the pipe in a script.
