Two possible ways: a) Just write a script to find identical mails and replace them with hard links to the same file. :) b) Use deliver -p <file> for delivering mails. You'll probably need to write some kind of a script for delivering mails, so that when it gets called with multiple recipients it can write the mail to a temp file and call deliver -p for each recipient using the same file. So yeah, either one are as reliable as the script :)
