Please turn it off entirely. I can easily identify spam, but lately I've also had to deal with duplicate legitimate messages, which means checking to see if the message has really been already delivered or not, which means in effect I'm acting as a human checksum checker, which kind of defeats the purpose of the automatic one. I could simply trust the system and reject all messages marked as duplicate checksums, but a false positive is what started all these changes, if I recall correctly. If you want a good test, you could remove it from -general: it gets many, many duplicates (and spam) throughout the day, so I'll be able to give you feedback quick on how the change affects that queue.
