I guess this duplicate checking could be done, but I wouldn't want it enabled by default.
You've got to be careful anyway, these so-called duplicates often come via different routes (e.g. directly and via a mailing list), may have been processed differently over those routes (e.g. have had attachments stripped), can't be trusted to have useful addressee fields, and won't necessarily arrive in the same order every time, so any rules for de-duplicating really have to be left to the mailbox owner and can't safely be applied server-wide.
Just my 0.02 currency units of your choice.
