Two solutions for Courier-based tools (reformail, maildrop):

1: maintenance:
http://www.kremvax.net/howto/mail-duplicates.html
Works a treat :)

2: regular delivery, /etc/maildroprc:
# Avoid messages with duplicate Message-IDs
`/usr/local/bin/reformail -D 8000 duplicate.cache`
   if ( $RETURNCODE == 0 )
   exit
