Your question is a good candidate for the FAQ.

I would be willing to bet good money that majordomo is not sending the
same message multiple times.  If this is happening, it is your MTA that 
is to blame, and not majordomo.  Typically, I have not seen this problem 
with exim, postfix, or qmail, so I will assume your MTA is sendmail.

In order to help sendmail deliver the mailing list messages faster, 

1. consider sorting your subscriber file by domain
2. verify the addresses in your list are valid and don't bounce
3. use bulk_mailer to split the deliveries into smaller chunks
4. change sendmail so the queue is not processed as often
