From the man page:

"A piece of mail is considered duplicate if it has the same message-ID
as the message immediately preceding and more than one addressee."

If that isn't happening then it suggests they're not in sequence, in
which case you may need to use whatever duplicate suppression your
IMAP/POP server has (I know Cyrus does, don't know about others).
