True. Sometimes you can do a few netstat commands, back-to-back on a busy list server and redirect to a file and catch them.

In any case, the problem seems to have been solved. I am no longer getting duplicates. I'm guessing you didn't do anything and it really was Yahoo's problem.

Netstat only helps if you're looking exactly when the mail is going out.
That's pretty hard to time when you have a 5-second window!

It could be that the list server is trying to be proactive and sending to all of the IPs. However, even if that is the case, Yahoo should be resolving that internally to a single message delivery.
