Hi, folks --
After the first few messages about duplication started going back and
forth, I wondered why I was having such an easy time of things. Then I
realized that my message count from procmail *was* going up (I created
a little alias to grep Folder in my log file and count up the total
with awk) even though I wasn't seeing the dupes -- and I remembered my
formail duplicate suppression recipe, blatantly stolen from somewhere.
For those interested, here it is:
:0 Wh: msgid.lock
| $FORMAIL -D 8192 $HOME/.procmail/msgid.cache
I put it right in my first recipe subfile, right before I make a
backup of the incoming message (I figure that I don't need to back it
up if I really have seen it already). Heck, for that matter, here is
the alias, too:
egrep Folder $HOME/.procmail/.mail.log | \
awk 'BEGIN {s=0} {s+=1;print "\$1","\$2"} END {print s}' | \
sort -u
Hope this is of some interest to folks... Again and again, no doubt ;-)
:-D
