Unless the affected people are actually on the list 3 times with 3
different addresses or on 3 different lists which all get the same
post, this is almost certainly not a Mailman issue.

This is sometimes caused by rules in the user's MUA (client) filing the
same message in multiple places. Otherwise it is probably some glitch
in SMTP delivery somewhere.

The first step is to compare the chain of Received: headers in each of
the 3 message copies. Where they diverge is where the duplication
occurred.
