Or what you could do is wait for version 1.2 as i believe (from previous posts/answers from ximian people) that in 1.2 you can setup filters that can run external commands.
Then you can: set a filter (on top of the list) that runs an external command (simple perl script maybe?) that checks the message, lots its message id and sender and possibly a checksum... and if a match already existed in a dbm file (or the likes used by your perl script), then you could exit with a particular exit code and get the filter to delete the message or file it in a different place. I can't wait till the feature comes out as i will be writing a perl script to check the message against RBL's for spam and stuch. Fechmail is a good solution unless you pop like 10 accounts and don't want them all mixed up (like me :-) simran.
