I agree with both of you: I don't like duplicate (or "triplicate", if that word exists) mails but I want to receive mails at least once. My personal approach for getting rid of the already existing multiple instances of the same mail is a simple procmail recipe [0]; and since the problem of duplicate mails already exists anyway (and needs to be handled anyway) I second Holger's suggestion.
