When people reply to your posts, they often will have your address in the
To: field, and the list address in the Cc: field. Because of this, you
will receive the email once directly, and a second time via your list
subscription.
It's a function of how people reply. If you want to encourage them to only
send it once, you can try to set a Reply-to: header to be the list address
for your list posts.
