Postfix sends duplicate mail

Some people will complain that Postfix sends duplicate messages. This happens 
whenever one message is mailed to multiple addresses that reach the same 
user. Examples of such scenarios are:

One message is sent to the user, and to an alias that lists the user. The user 
receives one copy of the mail directly, and one copy via the alias.

One message is sent to multiple aliases that list the user. The user receives 
one copy of the mail via each alias.

Some people will even argue that this is the "right" behavior. It is probably 
more a matter of expectation and of what one is used to.

This can be "fixed" only by making Postfix slower. In the above examples, 
Postfix would first have to completely expand all distribution lists before 
starting any delivery. By design, Postfix delivers mail to different 
destinations in parallel, and local delivery is no #exception. This is why 
Postfix can be faster than sendmail

Postfix ignores the owner-list alias
