Robert is very probably right. Misconfiguring Postfix's content filter
capabilities can lead to message duplication when expanding aliases.
This is also Postfix problem and unrelated to Dovecot. Have a look at
this thread:

Also study the Postfix filter readme at

to understand why it works they way it does.
