It's hard to know what happened, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were
not some brain dead MTA doing this. I have seen messages returned to me
that apparently got to some MTA that then decided to deliver a copy
back to me apparently because I was in a To: or Cc: header of the
original.
Go to the archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file and find
the second message (or a copy of it if you have it) and look at the
chain of Received: headers for clues.
All I can tell is that the original mail went to some address
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
at 7AM, and at 17:02 a mailer at LSU sent the mail back to Mailman.
The only way I am going to be able to tell what happened is to contact
the recipient at LSU and ask him what he might have done.
I did see two copies of the mail in the mbox file, as you suggested
I would.

I do not know why the copy to the second Mailman list here was blocked
by Postfix. If I have some spare time, I will research the Postfix
syslog message.
