	This is almost certainly a problem with the MTA (Mail Transfer 
Agent, e.g., sendmail, postfix, exim, etc...) on the machine, and not 
the fault of Mailman.  It's also unlikely to be the fault of sendmail 
or postfix -- I have never heard of a single example of a duplicate 
mailing that has been correctly attributed to them within the past 
five or ten years.

	You should find out what MTA you have on your server, then take 
your questions to a mailing list or newsgroup that is appropriate to 
that software.

	I don't understant the question.  Can you elaborate?

	Unless you turned off the "List-*" headers, in every message that 
goes through Mailman, you should see something like this:

List-Id: Mailman mailing list management users <mailman-users.python.org>
List-Unsubscribe: <http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users>,
	<mailto:mailman-users-request at python.org?subject=unsubscribe>
List-Archive: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users>
List-Post: <mailto:mailman-users at python.org>
List-Help: <mailto:mailman-users-request at python.org?subject=help>
List-Subscribe: <http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users>,
	<mailto:mailman-users-request at python.org?subject=subscribe>


	If people click on the appropriate unsubscribe link, or if their 
MUA properly interprets the headers and gives them an "unsubscribe" 
button, then that should do everything that is required.  Otherwise, 
it's up to them to follow the instructions.
