    I'm trying to stop duplicate emails being delivered to addresses
    contained multiple times in expanded recipient aliases.

    e.g. As an example, my virtual might contain:

           
           
           
           

    When a single email is sent to our Postfix server with two or more of
    these 4 addresses, two copies are delivered. The other two copies are
    ignored by the LMTP service with two warnings in /var/log/messages like:

       May 3 13:00:00 myserver lmtpd[28698]: dupelim: eliminated duplicate
    message to user.fred id <01c101c78d83$a4b6e3f0$0201a8c0 at IVVAIO> (delivery)
       May 3 13:00:01 myserver lmtpd[28698]: dupelim: eliminated duplicate
    message to user.fred id <01c101c78d83$a4b6e3f0$0201a8c0 at IVVAIO> (delivery)

    In /etc/imapd.conf I have:

       duplicatesuppression: yes

    Which I realize is a Cyrus IMAP feature rather than an explicit Postfix
    feature. Is there any way to eliminate the extra copy so only one is
    actually delivered, either in Postfix's or Cyrus' configuration?
    I've tried a huge duplicate_filter_limit in Postfix's main.cf too and
    restarted Postfix, but this didn't deal with the issue:

       duplicate_filter_limit = 20000

    Top brass don't like having multiple copies of the same message to deal
    with.

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,

    Cheers
