Ok, here's the explanation.

It looks like smtp server of one of the list subscribers sends all the
mails back to the list - pay attention to the Message-Id: of those
reappearing postings - they are all originating from the same host.

Also note, that it resends mails that are five days old - obviously,
it's trying to empty its queue.

Now we unsubscribed that guy, and blocked his server at the firewall -
for you not to suffer for yet another five days :-)

We sincerely apologize for that inconvenience.

Regards,
Sergei
