Cross posting is relatively common.  E.g. between debian-user and
debian-laptop.  However sending the same message to several lists, but
only addressing one at a time is very uncommon.

The quick and easy way to detect duplicates is to keep a hash of all the
messages.  But spammers could easily circumvent this by adding some
randomness to their messages.
