Nothing that moves the messages other than my MUA. I use procmail, but it
writes the messages to .mailinglist-2009-12/ and does not access new or cur
folders.
the mailserver is running postfix.
The issue does not come up very often, so I haven't been able to track it to
any particular event, and it's invisible from the MUA side since the duplicate
files only show once in client.
