Message duplication when local SMTP server gives 451 error

Bug Description

I have a list of 4 members.
1 of the member's email addresses gave a 451 response when Mailman
connected to the local SMTP server (for various reasons).

Every qrun was then sending mail to _all_ the list members (resulting in
duplicate messages), until I fixed the 451 error at which point it
stopped.

How to reproduce:

o Create a list with myself and an alias that the local smtp server gives a
"451" response to.
o Send a message to the list
o I get a copy of the message once a minute (there are 2 pairs of .db/.msg
files in the qfiles directory at this point)

Once I delete the aliase that gives "451" or allow it to be
delivered the repeated messages stop and the qfiles files are deleted.

Yes, this is definitely broken. Fixing it may be difficult though, so I'm
not sure when it'll happen.
