No, I don't think that's the case, because I get the "POST" message just
after getting the actual message to the list. I tried again, and sent
a test message, which was archived here:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-es-ayuda/2006-10/msg00575.php

Attached are the POST message and the message I got from the list.

I think the other message did not have matching dates because the
sender's machine doesn't have a sync'ed clock. Mine is NTP'd. (Also
this example is simpler because all times are in -0300).

Maybe you are right that there is a duplicate, but in that case then
it's something inside the postgresql.org mail handling that's causing
duplicates to be received by majordomo, because I *certainly* did not
send the message a second time.

Today I got a whole bunch of POST messages, all corresponding to the
messages I have received.

(BTW the clock at lists.commandprompt.com (which is my outbound SMTP)
appears to be 4 seconds ahead).
