I am having trouble diagnosing why I am getting SOME duplicate messages

Do what I do, just have procmail delete duplicate messages

## ELIMINATES DUPLICATE MESSAGES WITH SAME MESSAGE ID

        :0 Wh: msgid.lock
        | $FORMAILZ -D 32768 $PMDIR/cache.msgid

Since it uses the message id, which is unique to each message, if you're 
receiving duplicate messages of the SAME message id (which you have no 
need for), then it should delete them...place this BEFORE anything else..
