I suspect that you're being bitten by comp.sys.sun not being a
moderated newsgroup at all sites.  If it's not marked moderated at
some site, and a user follows up, it will post locally and then begin
propagating around the net until it hits a site where it's duly marked
moderated, at which point such a site mails it to you.  It's
conceivable that such an article gets to a number of sites before the
various copies start running into correct sites, so you get that many
copies.

I suggest a newgroup message to re-assert the moderated status of
comp.sys.sun.
