Two places to look to troubleshoot are the notifications.log, to check to see whether Xymon actually sent multiples or not, (could be your mail server, theoretically) and the "info" test on the server in question to see what the notifications settings parsed to. You can also look at the config report for that kind of info.

For some tests and hosts I receive several notification copies (identical) - sometimes two, sometimes three. I had reviewed the configuration, but can not detect where is the problem.
How can I debug which rule worked out for each copy?
Feature request - I suppose it should be quite easy to avoid redundant notification copies before sending, for example using cat (rows-list of recepients) | sort | uniq
P.S. XyMon version 4.3.17 on CentOS (64-bit) if this makes sense.
Best regards,
Ryan makes some good points, but, as is the case in my setup, it's more likely that you have multiple rules in your alerts.cfg that send emails for the same alarm, covering multiple sets of servers.
