Using procmail to do the filtering, if anyone wants to get around this, try at the top of your .procmailrc: ---- DAYFOLDER=`date +%y%m%d` # this will prevent 'crossposted' messages from getting duplicated :0 Whc: msgid.lock | formail -D 8192 msgid.cache # this will backup the duplicates incase the above didn't work :0 a: $MAILDIR/duplicates/$DAYFOLDER # save a copy of everything, just in case :0 c $MAILDIR/backup/$DAYFOLDER ---- The backups are pure paranoia, and have never had to make use of them...YMMV... Not related to Majordomo, but might help some out there to at least control this on their end...
