Default Multiple Distribution Lists

When using multiple distribution lists to create a single combined list, if a
person is included in more than one list, will they receive multiple e-mails?

List 1= a, b & c
List 2= a, d & e

List 3 = List 1 and List 2
Will "a" get 2 emails?

Thanks!

They should not receive multiple messages.

Actually, it depends on the mail server. Some will filter duplicate addresses, but not all.

Since there are differences between servers and a chance there may be
duplicates, I did a quick test. We did not get multiples. Thanks for your
quick replies.
