Nope, just the once.

I see this too sometimes; it seems to be bursty. I'll get lots of duplicates
for a day or two, then none for a week or three. Dan has mentioned in the
past that packet loss on the UIC link during the day regularly hits 25% --
since list.cr.yp.to sits on that network, it might be not seeing the
successful response to the DATA command if the connection gets broken before
then, and therefore has to re-send the mail (and logging "possible dupe"
messages in Dan's logs).
I do note that the duplicates are generally received on weekdays during
North American office hours, and I only notice them on mail coming from
list.cr.yp.to -- not from other ezmlm-managed lists.
Perhaps djb himself could comment on whether the network saturation at
UIC is causing duplicates?
