Avoid dup floods to the lists in the future

[Ken Causey]

I'm looking into what could be done to avoid duplicate message floods
like the one today in the future, or at least lessen the impact.  On the
Qmail website I found a script for roughly this purpose at

http://www.qmail.org/eliminate-dups

from Russ Nelson.  As luck has it I happen to know Russ so I spoke with
him about this for a few minutes and he thought that it would be fine to
use this on the listserver.

However I'm not going to jump into this too quickly because a faulty
cure is likely to be worse than the disease.  So I'm carefully
evaluating this script and I would appreciate it if you could look over
it and give your opinionl.

The idea is that this would just be stuck in above the existing line in
~list/.qmail-default and so work for all mailman lists.
