I didn't see anything in the FAQ that seemed to be relevant to
this, and the ORNL search engine wants to split 'message-id' into
'message' and 'id'. Please accept my apologies if this has been
covered in the past.
I just received a pair of messages from PayPal, which appears
to be using qmail. I'm fortunate to have received a pair of messages
(headers below), because I use procmail to eliminate duplicate
messages based upon the Message-ID header, which RFC 822 requires to
be unique. However, I'm a paranoid bastard, and shunt all "duplicate"
email to a duplicates folder, rather than sending it to /dev/null, so
I caught the false duplicate. My question is, is this a known problem
with qmail, possibly a misconfiguration or something correctable by an
upgrade? I'd like to be able to tell PayPal more than "Your mailer is
doing Bad Things.".
Thanks,
Sten
