Bug Description
Each month when the membership reminders go out, some members get two (duplicate) membership reminders. They are identical but for the email id field, and seem to originate maybe 4 seconds apart. I am including the two headers below, with the destination address changed to protect privacy.
Its been happening for years, any ideas about how I can fix this? (Mailman runs on SuSe Linux server)
Member below is regular (no digest), membership has 'no-dupes' and 'plain' checkmarked.
Link at bottom is reminder8.eml for 1st and reminder9.eml for 2nd message, could this mean he has
two membership records?
Thanks, and my regards for a neat mailing list program!

First of all, I am guessing at what the "klickitat_ 78online_ com mailing list memberships reminderx.eml" things mean. They are not put anywhere by standard GNU Mailman. When one saves a message to a file from Thunderbird, it is given a file name of the message subject with a .eml extension. the '8' and '9' may have been added by the user to distinguish the files.
More importantly, the actual body of the reminder will contain lines like
Passwords for <email address hidden>:
List Password // URL klickitat. 78online. com/mailman/ options/ listname/ user%40example. com
---- --------
<email address hidden> xxxxxx
http://
where <email address hidden> is the actual subscribed address. Are these addresses identical in the two reminder email bodies? If not, the user has two subscribed addresses, thus two reminders.
If the addresses are identical, but the reminders are for different lists in different domains, this is normal. If they are for different lists in the identical domain, this may be some SuSeism.
