It appears there is a mail server at bala.com reflecting/looping our listmail
for some reason:

Received: from [208.245.108.16] (bce-pa2.pa.bala.com [208.245.108.16] (may be

        (mail-from brwagenblast_@_comcast.net)

Because the reflected listmail is still using Bernie's From: address the list
is accepting the redundant mail.

Please just ignore these dupes, they should go away on their own I think.
