[Mailman-Users] Stop Mailman from re-send messages

[Hung Phan]

Thank you very much for your answer, Mark.
We follow this Exim cheatsheet http://bradthemad.org/tech/notes/exim_cheatsheet.php and clear out the Exim queries. We, however, are not very clear about the suffix D denote in front of some recipients. Anyone has knowledge about the suffix? 

Thank you,
