That's a whole different issue and anyone using greylisting now I would never
use for email. But it doesn’t matter which message arrives at my server first,
the duplicate gets trashed and the first one goes where it should.

No, that is not the case. When I get a message from bob that was also sent to
postfix-user several things happen.
First, the message has a reply-to: header added for the postfix list. All
mailing lists get a reply-to header added with the list address.
Second, the message has a "X-List-name: postfix" added to it regardless of who
sent it.
Then, on my client, all the messages that are "X-List-name: Postfix" and are
not archived are shown in a smart mailbox.

That's not how it works here, and not how it's worked here since I started
using procmail in the late 90s, though now I use sieve.
