Well, yes, the above doesn't show the duplicates.

user1 and user2 get the duplicates, userlist gets the only message (as
expected).

The duplicates differ in the only header field (save references to
Message-Id). One of them contains

Received: from exim by example.com with local (Exim 4.62)
        (envelope-from <user1@???>)
        id 1JsZny-0002Ee-Rj
        for userlist@???; Sun, 04 May 2008 15:42:46 +0700


whereas the other

Received: from exim by example.com with local (Exim 4.62)
        (envelope-from <user1@???>)
        id 1JsZnz-0002Ez-4F
        for user1@???; Sun, 04 May 2008 15:42:47 +0700


I'm quite at a loss.

All the best,
