SmartList can do nothing here without heavy modifications. It's rather  
a question of duplicate delivery suppression on the recipient or MTA  
site. E. g.
the cyrus imap/pop3 server would deliver only one copy (with the default
configuration). Probably there is also a solution at the MTA (postfix) side.
You should ask the postfix community.
