Unfortunately, I do. I frequently get sent several copies of mail
from internal mailing lists, which are cc'd to me as well. What
procmail (and slocal from MH) does is just use a fixed size cache
(8K is the default), and rotate through that. The message-id's don't
need to be kept long, probably only a day or two.
