As the chance for a hash collission is very, very, very, very small,
it
might happen once per lifetime of any single installation.
Not even. It would be like winning the first prize in the lotto game
several consecutive times. In practice no one expects this to happen!
Actually if a collision was witnessed at a dbmail installation, it
would be worthwile to double-check it (*) an report it to the
cryptography community, that would be amazing news.
(*) because the probability of a malfunction happening during the check
on a particular computer is much higher than the probability of the
collision itself.
