Not sure if this is related to a duplication problem as the subject suggests,
but majordomo does not recognize upper case letters in list names. At least
the filenames for the list must be lower-cased, as majordomo will tr them to
lower case during processing. Also note that majordomo does not accept the
underscore character as a valid listname character. This does not look like
it affects you (right now), but it is something to keep in mind.
To make sure you are not getting auto-replies back to the list from somebody
being on vacation or otherwise out of the office, you could make use of the
message_headers and taboo_headers settings in your listname.config file. Here
is what I do...
message_headers << END
X-Mailing-List: <listname>
END
taboo_headers << END
/X-Mailing-List: <listname>/
END
where <listname> is replaced with the actual name of your list.
You could also do this with message_footers and taboo_body settings, but
these will destroy any MIME content if you allow it in your lists. Some
auto-reply-bots may not include the original headers in the reply, which
only leaves you the footers/body option. If this is the case, you will
want to look at the strip-HTML patch or demime plugin to majordomo.
