An email server or client somewhere in Magyarország (Hungary) spazzed out
and generated nine copies of the above message.  These were received by the
lego-robotics@crynwr.com mailing list server and forwarded to the .robotics
newsgroup through the two-way mail/news gateway. [...]

Duplicates also happen from people accidentally or mistakenly clicking the
"Post Message" button after they've already clicked it.

Couldn't you compare attempted postings to other attempted postings within the
last 5 minutes and solve the problem permanently?
