Subject:   problem w/ keeping only one out of many copies via procmail
Message-ID:  <20011012230726.A27777@moo.holy.cow>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
problem is that i can't seem to get only one copy of mail 
instead of all the ones that i can potentially get. here is
the receipe from procmail faq/man page/etc...

:0 Whc: .msgid-lock
| formail -D 32768 .msgid-cache

#:0 a:
#.extra-copy


...intially, i was giddy whenever i would see messages only in the
.extra-copy but only one copy w/ same message-id in any/all other
folder (mbox type).  but that doesn't seem to take care of all the 
duplicates all the time.

i use fetchmail to retrieve mail from two accounts:  A & B.  i am 
susbcried to various mailing lists w/ both the addresses.  futher, i 
use address A to send messgaes to mailing lists; most of the time, i 
also get replies on address A if somebody replied both to a list and 
to me. above reciepe sometimes works, other times not :(.

below are the relevant sections of the procmail receipe & log,
and an example dulpicate message w/ headers as i couldn't make sense
(of the logs myself) to debug the problem. 

thanks much.
