All the stuff about duplicates, and duplicate suppression can be real confusing, and
so let me try and straighten some of it out.
In the sendmail world, duplicate delivery supression means that a single message wont
be delivered multiple times to the same addressee. Thus, if I mail to two aliases on
the same system, and these aliases are really exploder lists, and your in both lists,
you won't get two copies. In Cyrus, duplicate delivery suppression is really single
instance store, meaning if a message is received for 50 people at your site, the
message will only be written to disk once, and there will be 50 hard links (all 50
copies of the message will be the same inode, meaning really only one copy).
What your talking about is a case where, as in this reply, I am mailing
to the discussion list and CC'ing you. Two separate mail message arrive at your
machine. If you look at the headers, they are different. One went directly from my
mail server to yours. The other came to you from the listserv at cmu.edu. As far as
sendmail and as far as cyrus-imapd are concerned, those are two separate messages, and
duplicate suppression does not apply.
Hope that helps.
