This is not a qmail issue. qmail just delivers mail and you are sending a
mail to two lists that send the message twice to the same user. There is
no way to solve that in a MTA. Another story is the MDA (procmail, etc).
Most of those tools have a way to store message IDs or so in a db and use
that info to suppress additional deliveries.
For procmail you just need to read the manpage (I don't use it but I know
it has the feature). If you don't want a to install an additional MDA,
I think Russel Nelson has even a script on qmail.org that does it via
.qmail. You just need to add it to the default delivery and your problem
is solved.
