Avoiding deliver.db corruption

[Patrick Radtke]

basically duplicate suppression might miss a few messages (since  
you've deleted what it does its comparison against).
Also, I think it resets any state associated with vacation.

e.g. Someone who has already gotten a vacation auto-response, may get  
another one after the deliver.db is deleted and if they send another  
message to the address using vacation.
