I'm still confused. Are you saying here that someone who is a member of
say list1 and not list2 will get two copies of the message?. If so, look
at the complete headers of both messages. Do they both come from Mailman
and does one of them come from list1 and one from list2?

The Mailman 'smtp' log will have entries like

Oct 18 17:47:02 2015 (pppp) <message-id> smtp to listname for nnn
recips, completed in t.ttt seconds

where pppp is the PID of OutgoingRunner, message-id is the actual
message-id of the post, listname is the list name and nnn is the number
of recipients sent to.

Postfix's log will have complete information as to what was delivered to
Mailman and received from Mailman and subsequently delivered.

Mailman's logs may be in /var/lib/mailman/logs/,
/usr/local/mailman/logs, /var/log/mailman/ or ??? depending on how
mailman was installed. Postfix's logs are usually /var/log/maillog or
/var/log/mail.log.
