I saw http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=111176&group_id=103 but my report seems slight different, so here it is:

Ok, so I had a mail server configuration and a list with 13 non local users. Because mailman telnets to port 25 instead or running sendmail directly, the Emails to non local users got bounced (we do not relay).

The problem is that mailman apparently thought the Email didn't go through at all, and resent the whole Email 14 times, until the all the 13 users got removed from the list. The bug didn't happen when the users were still in "first" or "0 more allowed" mode, it happened when they started to be actually unsubscribed.

Here's the mailman bounce log of when this happened: Aug 12 19:02:02 2000 (31157) Flash: grice@accesspr.com - exceeded limits
