This is unlikely to be a mailman problem, but assuming that only some
and not all members are getting duplicates, the duplicates could be
generated by Mailman or the outbound MTA or anywhere from there to the
user. You can narrow it down somewhat by comparing Received: headers
between the two duplicates. If you determine that two copies were sent
from your outbound MTA, it could be there or in Mailman.

You then need to look at logs. Mailman's 'smtp' and perhaps
'smtp-failure' logs can incriminate or rule out Mailman or the
Mailman/MTA interface. Beyond that you have to look at MTA logs.
