I've talked to Fred, my boss and local ezmlm/qmail expert.

According to him, assuming the outgoing message ids are not
identical, this is probably caused by the list's .qmail file -- if the
ezmlm line is followed by other lines which can cause temporary
errors, the entire delivery will be retried, resulting in duplicates
going to the list (potentially, a lot of duplicates).

So the .qmail file needs to be reordered, with anything that should
cause a temporary error (ie, a retry) going before the ezmlm
line...and with anything after deliberately not reporting errors at
all -- instead of one of 
command 
command || exit 111

It should be 

command || exit 0

for all commands following the ezmlm line.
