I checked the filter rules. I could not find anything that could possibly
duplicate messages. There is only one reference to the messages that are
being duplicated (the filter/rule looks for where the message is being SENT
to)

Where could I find these attributes? Is it on the web admin interface, or is
it somewhere else?

The message-ID from mailman's smtp log shows something interesting. Every
message that is duplicated, shows the same message-ID, but it says that it
is being sent to 2 recipients. Is that normal? I ask because as far as I
know, these subscribe messages are being sent to me, the administrator, and
the actual email that is being subscribed/unsubscribed. Is that normal, or
would it be two different message-ID's, if only 1 message was being sent to
me and 1 message was being sent to the email address that is being
subscribed/unsubscribed?
