Everyone. My firm best guess is the person who setup the below
mail<->news gate is to blame:

Newsgroups: netg.mail.portmaster.users

That header line has appeared in all the dupes, and I'm quite tempted to
procmail messages containing that line to /dev/null.

Earth to news gatewayer...kill your your brain damaged gateway.

Perhaps Megazone can filter messages sent to the list and unsub the entire
site these newsgroup bounces are coming from. I have a setup that will do
it. Many month ago I tinkered around and interfaced procmail to
majordomo, such that all lists have procmail filters. Few people on
majordomo-users were amused, but I like it.
