Hmm, it doesn't seem to have to do with duplicates, since the eight
digests were different. On the other hand, I think you're probably
right about the these being related to bounces.

The following are the Received headers from before the list daemon sent
me the first digest.

Perhaps <joel(dot)espinosa(at)cts-design(dot)com> is the culprit here. I'm CCing
owner on this message.

Thanks for the suggestion, Tom.
