I do not know what cyrus-imapd does, and I have sendmail instead of
postfix, but as far as I understand the mail-system in general, each list
sends you one mail, thus it is three mails you get. With my setup
(sendmail, spamass-milter, clamav-milter, dovecot), I get three mails as
well when a mail is send to three mailinglists I have subscribed to.
Mailinglists usually do not know about each other and their members, so
each one sends a mail...
May be cyrus was smart enough to notice the duplicity, and removed the
other mails - though personally, I would not want that.
