I filter on the server, using SIEVE-scripts.
Please provide the correct syntax I need to do this.

You are the only one causing duplicate emails, all others on this list do
NOT cause duplicate emails.
This means the cause is on your side and the solution should then also be
on your side.

I disagree with those. Seen those arguments before along with the opposite
versions. Mailing lists where a reply does not work are broken. Mailing
lists where I always end up with duplicate replies don't stay used by
myself for very long.

True, but a mail-thread that hasn't had a reply for over a month is
usually considered closed. It's nice that you decide to catch up with your
emails, but please then take care not to flood inboxes as well.
