Since the mail can go multiple routes the mail process at the receiving 
end should filter the pieces together and turn them into a single mail 
message.  I think that it has to be multiply sent.

 If you put the multiple postings together with the frequent mail 
blackouts to various folks I think it has to be sendmail on the server or 
the list server program itself.  Just a guess of course.....
