In 6.2.5 the dup killer will key on an MD5 hash of the raw headers.

It's a step in the right direction, but you can as well remove the dupe
check, since in any _working_ multidrop setup, the MD5 of two messages
will always be different: the "envelope" header will differ.

I question the need for duplicate suppression at large. What behaviour
is duplicate suppression supposed to fix? It only covers up
misconfigurations, when fetchmail wrongly resorts to parsing To:/Cc:
headers to figure recipients.
