If you use procmail or maildrop as a mailfilter the both have recipies to avoid duplicate messages. If you are using an actualy Maildr (of qmail type) where each message is an single file you could use something like md5 or such to compare each message. -- Mat Kovach Cleveland, Ohio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
