(Tongue in cheek) If you were to use maildrop (part of the
Courier/Courier IMAP distribution) as LDA, you could configure it to
deliver only one message of those having duplicate Message-IDs. Without
this feature, mail on this (test/semi-production) rig would be
impossible to (read|manage), since my ISP's mailkick server (from whom I
receive all my mail) insists on sending me minimum 2 maximum 4 copies of
each message. Even on production systems I make greedy use of the
feature.

Mind you, some might say that it's a privilege to receive two copies of
Wietse's messages, rather than no copies ...
