Straying even further away from exim, the Cyrus IMAP server has this
capability. From the man page for imapd.conf:
duplicatesuppression: 1
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.
