See section 6.3.11 in the Gnus manual:

|   6.3.11 Duplicates
|      
|    If you are a member of a couple of mailing lists, you will sometimes receive two
|    copies of the same mail. This can be quite annoying, so nnmail checks for and
|    treats any duplicates it might find. To do this, it keeps a cache of old
|    Message-IDs--- nnmail-message-id-cache-file, which is `~/.nnmail-cache' by
|    default. The approximate maximum number of Message-IDs stored there is
|    controlled by the nnmail-message-id-cache-length variable, which is 1000 by
|    default. (So 1000 Message-IDs will be stored.) If all this sounds scary to you,
|    you can set nnmail-treat-duplicates to warn (which is what it is by default),
|    and nnmail won't delete duplicate mails. Instead it will insert a warning into
|    the head of the mail saying that it thinks that this is a duplicate of a
|    different message.
|           
|    This variable can also be a function. If that's the case, the function will be
|    called from a buffer narrowed to the message in question with the Message-ID as
|    a parameter. The function must return either nil, warn, or delete.
|           
|    You can turn this feature off completely by setting the variable to nil.
|                
|    If you want all the duplicate mails to be put into a special duplicates group,
|    you could do that using the normal mail split methods:
| (setq nnmail-split-fancy
|       '(| ;; Messages duplicates go to a separate group.
|           ("gnus-warning" "duplication of message" "duplicate")
|           ;; Message from daemons, postmaster, and the like to another.
|           (any mail "mail.misc")
|           ;; Other rules.
|           [ ... ] ))
|                
|    Or something like:
| (setq nnmail-split-methods
|       '(("duplicates" "^Gnus-Warning:")
|         ;; Other rules.
|         [...]))
