I do not know of such an option.

The following works for me, I think. Create lists for groups and include
those in lists for certain topics.

### Groups ###

address@concealed (k)
address@concealed (t)

### Topics ###

address@concealed (include k)
address@concealed (include t)
address@concealed (include k and t)

If you now send a message to teletubbis and some-series-for-both-groups
I believe they only receive one copy of the message.

But you probably use LDAP or a database to populate the lists, so this
might not be feasible for you.

I hope someone else has a better idea.


Bests,

Paul
