Look at the actual subscription request e-mail (Bcc: yourself to get a
copy). Look for anything strange like two From: headers or e-mail
address appearing twice in From: header.

Check MTA log to make sure request is only piped once to the wrapper,
although it seems that you've probably already done this or at least
empirically verified it (- Other mail to mailinglist-request at domain:
OK)

Are you mailing mailinglist-request at domain with 'subscribe' both in the
subject and in the body of the e-mail?
