Duplicate Message ID's

As is (hopefully) abundantly clear in the archives (both MS and MW)
the "duplicate problem" is severely increased by having /var/spool
as a separate filesystem, but the behaviour is there even if it isn't.

It's a question of probabilities of inode reuse, and hitting the same
microsecond:-).

The original patch from Julian is in the archive (in a mail to me), and
it'll apply without errors to a vanilla 4.35.11 IIRC. But best is to 
upgrade. Do clamav while you're at it;-).
