Yes, it can if some crazy person wants multiple [utterly pointless]
copies of the same message.

/etc/imapd.conf:
duplicatesuppression: 0

<quote>
If  enabled, lmtpd will suppress delivery of a message to a mailbox if a
message with the same message-id (or resent-message-id) is recorded as
having already been delivered to the mailbox.  Records the mailbox and
message-id/resent-message-id of all successful deliveries.</quote>
