man slocal says:

   Duplicate Message Suppression
       slocal is able to detect and supress  duplicate  messages.
       To  enable  this,  create  two  empty  files in your $HOME
       directory: .maildelivery.pag and .maildelivery.dir.  These
       are  ndbm files which are used to store the Message-IDs of
       incoming messages.

Forgot if I installed mh from ports or packages. Apparently slocal isn't 
maintaining a database of incoming messages as the manpage suggests it 
will. Am I lacking a compile option?
