You could check the Mailman 'smtp' and 'smtp-failure' logs for clues,
but it is likely that Mailman is not involved in this. It is more
likely an outgoing MTA issue.

In the past, I had a report from one user who occasionally received
duplicates and once even a triplicate of a post. This appeared to be
an issue between the outgoing MTA (sendmail, I don't know the version)
and his receiving MTA. For unrelated reasons, our hosting service
moved our domain to a different hardware box that had a newer version
of sendmail, and the problem went away.
