You should  check the file in spool 
address@concealed

I think it contain a header X-Loop: address@concealed 
<mailto:address@concealed> . This header is added by sympa to prevent 
loops (some guys may try to subscribe a list to another one and make a 
ring of subscription).  Remove it and move the file back to  
xxxxxx/sympa/msg/ (you must preserve file owner and access).
May be this user as used a previously distributed message to modify it 
and submit it again to the same list ?
