[Mailman-Users] Duplicate emails sent out

[David Casamento]

 From going through the mail logs on the server, I can see that the same 
message was sent to one person 76 times in one day and 33 times the next 
day, at which staged I deleted all the queue files in the qfiles directory 
and the mailouts stopped. The mail list has feature turned on that insists 
each post is authorised by a list administrator, and we only ever authorise 
the initial posting.

So from what I can tell, my mailing list server is sending out all the dups.
