I think you need an external program. The manual pages for procmail
include this as one of their examples (in 'man procmailex', quite a
way down the page):
Message-IDs are guaranteed to be unique for every new
mail, they are ideally suited to weed out duplicate mails.
Simply put the following recipe at the top of your rcfile,
and no duplicate mail will get past it.
:0 Wh: msgid.lock
| formail -D 8192 msgid.cache
I'm on several mailing lists which get duplicates from time to time
when people get over-excited with the cc line, and this works great
for me.
