In that case, I would check your sendmail configuration.
If the list is large, or the queue time on sendmail very
small, sendmail may be redelivering on a subsequent queue
run.  If you use "/usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q1m" I would 
change it to -q1h.

You can also do this just to make sure you do not have a 
mail loop.

In the listname.config file;
message_headers     <<  END
X-Mailing-List: $LIST
END

taboo_headers       <<  END
/^X-Mailing-List: /
END

The problem with this approach (or beneficial side effect)
is that other mailing lists with this header will also be
trapped and BOUNCEd to the approval address.  $LIST does
not get expanded in the Taboo_headers, so if your list is
a subsriber of another list, add your listname to the taboo.

taboo_headers       <<  END
/^X-Mailing-List: mylistname/
END

Please let this list know if either of these ideas help.
