If the message contains the same message-id which it sounds like it 
should, it should be really easy to filter. If majordomo or whatever your 
mailing list agent is gets messages delivered to it by procmail, you just 
do:

:0 Whc: msgid.lock
| formail -D 16384 msgid.cache
:0 a:
/dev/null

in procmail and you should rarely if ever see duplicates.
