Using sendmail basic aliases, the MTA can identify and suppress
duplicates. With resend, each instance is in effect a separate (new)
message. Running under different processes, sendmail has no way to
know there are duplicates.

Probably not. With something like qmail (each individual message is
its own connection), it might even be worse. The real question is,
are list-managers with builtin transports (Listserv, MJ2) able to
avoid this problem? If so, then it goes away with the MJ2 release.
