This is trivial to do using procmail (by checking the Message-ID header). You can get a bit more sophisticated and do an MD5 hash of the body of incoming messages and store it on a database (dbtool, for example: http://www.daemon.de/dbtool/).
If you or anyone else is interested I can post a recipe that does the above.
