[Mailman-Developers] bouncing users create Email dupes with 2.0 beta5

[Marc MERLIN]

I saw
http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=111176&group_id=103
but my report seems slight different, so here it is:

Ok, so I had a mail server configuration and a list with 13 non local users.
Because mailman telnets to port 25 instead or running sendmail directly, the
Emails to non local users got bounced (we do not relay).

The problem is  that mailman apparently thought the Email  didn't go through
at all, and resent the whole Email 14  times, until the all the 13 users got
removed from the list.
The  bug didn't  happen when  the users  were still  in "first"  or "0  more
allowed" mode, it happened when they started to be actually unsubscribed.

Here's the mailman bounce log of when this happened:
