My guess is it isn't the "list" that is doing this.  It would not know 
how, since it isn't storing up every email every queued just for you. 
Once it gets an email, it sends 'em out.   In other words: it's not the 
list.

I would start looking at the mailserver and your client.   Are you using 
IMAP or POP3?  If you're using POP3, are you storing copies of the 
message on the server?  DON'T DO THAT.  Switch to IMAP if you're going 
to keep messages on the server, for instance for syncing with multiple 
devices/clients.

Otherwise, what's up with the client(s) that you are using?   Did 
anything change? Add a new device lately?

How is your quota?

Again, look for things that have changed... that is your most likely 
suspect.
