Depends. Are you using procmail, too? If so, you might be interested in the following rule I have in my .procmailrc: # Dupes? Nuke'em! :0 Wh: msgid.lock | $FORMAIL -D 8192 msgid.cache That's it. All there is to it. Just put that little beast in and all duplicate massages will get deleted. (there is something similar for maildrop, too. Just in case you use it - but I forgot, just what it was... GIYF ;-) ). Aleks
