Well, I had the problem of duplicated (3x,4x!...) messages here in my system and these multiple equal messages were not related with the dot-qmail files.
I solved it using a perl script called eliminate-dups http://qmail.valueclick.com/eliminate-dups it accounts the messages before they are left in the maildirs preventing that two equal messages are stored into a maildir. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Ken Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2001 3:20 AM Subject: Re: duplicated email problem. help me > Ken, > > I love vpopmail. dont' misunderstand i'm complaining the qmail or vpopmail. > they are correct. i'm just looking for a way to configure the .qmail file, > like run a shell/perl script something to prevent the duplicated email to > the [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > our director wish to have a copy of all sales and managers' incoming email > for reference but he don't want to have the duplciated message, the same > message-id email i think. > > and thanks for cc my mail to qmail mailing list. they don't accept any > Outlook Express email. > > > ---- > Chris > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ken Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Chris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2001 2:13 PM > Subject: Re: duplicated email problem. help me > > > On Wed, 2001-10-10 at 00:53, Chris wrote: > > We are using Vpopmail +Qmail > > > > the following is our email account settings > > > > pop account: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] will forward a copy of > > incoming email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > the [EMAIL PROTECTED] will forward a copy of email to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > when a client send (TO or CC) a email to ALL our sales email accounts with > > same email our director will recieve a lot of dulicated email. > > > > Is there any way to prevent the dulicated email to the account > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? i have try the http://www.qmail.org/eliminate-dups > but > > it can't solve our problem. > > vpopmail's job is not to determine that forwards and aliases have > been configured correctly. > > There are an infinite number of ways a person can cause multiple > copies of an email to be delivered to a single email address. > > Would you have vpopmail try to second guess what you are doing? > > Example: > 1) email arrives to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 2) vpopmail decides that, no.. email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is > incorrect. it should actually be delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Should I and all the other vpopmail developers try to second guess > mistakes in your setup? > > Ken Jones > http://www.don't.be.a.fool.com/ > > > > > > >
