You would need to look at the Received headers on the messages to 
allocate blame, and even then you can only really allocate it to the 
interface between two systems.

Email is designed to fail towards duplication.  There is a stage at the 
end of sending the text where the receiver may have successfully 
received it but the sender hasn't had confirmation.  For a large email, 
and an overloaded system, that might last long enough for the sender to 
assume a failure and resend.
