Think of your exhange servers mailing lists as buckets. Bucket A is list A with user A in it. Bucket B is list B with user A in it. Each bucket is going to get an email, and that email is going to get copied to it's users. I don't think this way is going to be possible, unless you make another group, and put your groups in there. But I will bet that user a still gets 2 emails. But I can't say for certain, since it's been about 5 years since I used a exchange server. I would probably pull user a out, and let him get contacted separately with nagios, instead of depending on a group list if it's a big deal. The down side is this doesn't scale very well.
