hi
I'm using fetchmail using the multidrop feature. All the mail to the
domain isutc.transcom.co.mz goes to one account in the isp. We use
fetchmail with pop3 to fetch the mail and deliver it to our qmail server.
The problem is that when someone sends a message to N recepients in our
domain, each one receives the message repeated N times.
from the fetchmail man page:
> Also, note that in multidrop mode duplicate mails are suppressed. A
> piece of mail is considered duplicate if it has the same message-ID as
> the message immediately preceding and more than one addressee. Such
> runs of messages may be generated when copies of a message addressed to
> multiple users are delivered to a multidrop box.
The supression of duplicate mails is not working... But all the N
messages have identical message-id's.

> Otherwise you will lose mail and it will come back to haunt you.
i think my isp is not doing this. The N messages received are exactly
identical, except for
-the X-UIDL header (like "X-UIDL: 1089013794.29811.PC-8-0,S=1712") which
is always different
-the timestamps, which sometimes differ
-a qmail id ("Received: (qmail 29809 invoked by uid 89); 5 Jul 2004
07:49:54 -0000")
You can see the complete headers in the end of this message.
Our isp uses qmail.
Our fetchmail configuration is:
set postmaster "sec-inf(_at_)isutc(_dot_)transcom(_dot_)co(_dot_)mz"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
set daemon 30
poll mail.netcabo.co.mz with proto POP3
