This is not really a reply to your question, but a trick that will
save you some of the trouble these duplicates cause.

I wouldn't notice it if I did receive any duplicates.  I have been
running procmail as a basic filtering .forward file recipe with the
following rule in my ~/.procmailrc file:

	# --
	# Remove duplicate messages using Message-Id caching.

	:0 Wh: msgid.lock
	| formail -D 327680 msgid.cache

With a 320 kb cache for Message-Id headers, I hardly (if ever) get any
duplicate messages anymore.
