Debing BTS #531690 has been filed to track the duplicate message delivery 
issue.


Background:
========

But there's another issue that I'd like to bring to your attention.

I've noticed that at times, I see new messages being categorized under the 
duplicates folder.

Here's the rule I'm using:

# Catch duplicate messages using a message-id cache.
$db = "${base}/duplicates"
$key = "%[message_id]"
cache $db expire 1 week

match not string $key to "" {
    # Filter messages already in the cache.
    match in-cache $db key $key action maildir "${path}/.duplicates"

    # Add message-ids to the cache.
    match all action to-cache $db key $key continue
}



There has been instances where I've seen the email to be available only under 
the duplicates folder and no where else. If it is a duplicate, a copy of it 
should be present in the other folder. Right ?

Earlier, I have had ignored this behavior. This looked to be a concern 
recently when I noticed that one of the important messages were delivered into 
the duplicates folder and no where else.
