Re: [LI] Fetchmail Multiple copies

[newbie@xxxxxxxxxxx]

make the change in .procmailrc to filter on the basis of message ID.
I am attaching a sample .procmailrc file showing how to do it. Below this
you can have all your regular rules/filters.

--Homes.


----.procmailrc
PROCHOME=$HOME/.procmail
LOGABSTRACT=on
LOGFILE=$PROCHOME/log
PATH=/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:usr/lib/mh:usr/local/bin
MYADDRESS=root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
#VACATION
 
DUPFILE=$PROCHOME/dups
CACHEFILE=$HOME/cache
CACHESIZE=5000
GARBAGE=/dev/null
 
#Message ID's checking !
:0 cW:$CACHEFILE.lock
Iformail -D $CACHESIZE $CACHEFILE
 
:0 a:
$DUPFILE
-----ends here
