AFAIK, that's it. Qmail will not sort/uniq the recipients of the

another behavior, you will have either to write a custom patch for
ezmlm, implementing "sublists" feature, or to find/create another
mailing list software with the "sublists" feature.
It is true, if multiple email addresses resolve to the same user
qmail will deliver multiple emails. I discovered the same thing
(People frequently CC mail to quinn@, support@, and hello@ and I
receive 3 mails).
My solution is to use a procmail and formail trick:

It won't help in this case. (Well, it will, but not the way in initially
intended). In case the use of mailing list to deliver mails, they
wouldn't be the exact dupes, thanks to ezmlm-send engine. In case .qmail
forward file will be used for each division recipient address qmail will
create a copy of a message and queue it and store it along with the list
of recipients from that forwards file. Again, resulting messages the
will drop to end-user mailboxes will be slightly different in header
parts (Delivered-to:).
I'm not sure procmail will be able to filter out such "almost dupes",
but in any case James will be forced to modify each user separately to
filter out dupes, which is not the easiest thing to deploy and administer.
