If by "it" you mean Mailman, then as far as I know, it does nothing to deduplicate your mail. It sends the messages it has been instructed to send. So if a message is addressed To a mailing list you're subscribed to, and Cc'd to you, then your incoming mail server will receive two copies of the message. Most incoming mail servers will pass both copies of the message on to your email program. As far as I know, Gmail is unique in that it deduplicates for you and only shows you one copy. I assume it uses the Message-ID to do so.
