I have a mailman 2.1.5 installation on a FC1 Plesk-administrated

Please note the Mailman FAQ Wizard entry at

I've read that FAQ entry but unfortunately it doesn't really address
this problem. The Mailman version installed is nearly the most (stable) recent one, so the older-version-installed problems don't apply.
The problem I'm having is that subscription confirmation
e-mails arrive in duplicate or quadruplicate (!!!!). Plus, subscription reminders come in even larger quantities. The "subscribe" log shows apparently independent subscription requests, so I'm kinda stumped on what's causing this.
What exactly is in your MTA logs? What is in your Mailman logs?
Can you show us some examples of duplicate messages, with all the headers intact?

SMTP server log (from xinetd) shows 4 independent SMTP spawned

Message headers:
--------------------
All headers match among messages except sender/receiver MTA PID
(obviously), the subject (there are 4 separate confirmation requests with individual hashes), and the message ID. *However*, the message ID only changes the first digit among all 4 messsages, i.e.:
<mailman.0.1119400409.3305.mailingmoderna@modernaeditorial.com>
<mailman.1.1119400409.3305.mailingmoderna@modernaeditorial.com>
<mailman.2.1119400409.3305.mailingmoderna@modernaeditorial.com>
<mailman.3.1119400409.3305.mailingmoderna@modernaeditorial.com>
The destination address, before you ask, is not a list administrator
(I double-checked that). I didn't copy all the message headers for the sake of readability, since they're all the same.
The MTA is qmail and seems to be working fine for several domains hosted on this machine. Has anyone had this problem, and what can/should I look for as far as troubleshooting goes?
For qmail-related items, you'd need to use mailing lists, FAQs,
etc... related to that MTA. The issue right now is that we need to help you figure out where the problem lies.
I only mentioned that so that anyone who read this wouldn't think
that an MTA wasn't even properly configured :)
