Aha. I presume, therefore, that Exim is deliving one copy of the message
to you, and one copy to majordomo. Majordomo is then expanding the list,
passing a new message back to Exim, and voila, it delivers a copy of
that message to you. You can check this by examining your Exim logs, and
also the Received: headers in the messages.
There isn't really anything Exim can do about this if my diagnosis is
correct.

Exim does not remember previously delivered message ids.
