And sadly, this doesn't help either.

I have directly accessed my HHH email in the past which is run on Unix
Servers with Pine. For whatever reason, I am no longer getting double posts
like I once did (*knock on every piece of wood for a mile radius*)... but it
has been known on occasion. I have no idea why this occurs myself. Even
when I went digging through the headers of the email messages, there was
nothing out of the ordinary.

Part of me really wants to chalk it all up to "one of the strange things on
the Internet" today since I obviously don't have any kind of access to the
Dumpshock.com mailer setups and could just go in and find out what kind of
log activity, if such is tracked which is not likely in all accounts, just
to see if part of what I suspect is happening is happening.
