msgid.cache not working?

1997-12-30 14:19:05
To whom it may concern,

     I have a mail folder that is keeping copies of mail that should be 
forwarded without copying.  When I check the msgid.cache file, there 
appear to be some missing dates.  That is, when procmail writes id 
numbers to the file-then reaches the end, it starts over at the top.  The 
problem is - between the top and the bottom there appear to be a few 
dates (days) missing.

     For example, the list below should show (if I understand it 
correctly) is a list that wraps around.  The list is sequential, 
top-to-bottom, with the numbers at the very bottom continuing at the very 
top.  Unfortunately I am missing a few dates between the top and bottom, 
in this case 19981218 and 19981219.  I believe this is related to my mail 
being copied when it should be forwarded.

     What I see (in order of dates only) in msgid.cache is this:
19971220
19971220
19971211
19971212
19971213
19971214
19971215
19971216
19971217

     I start .procmailrc out with the following two lines:
: 0 Wh: msgid.lock
| formail -D 32768 msgid.cache

     The last recipe is ended with a ":" not a ":c" as the others.  Is 
there something else I may have overlooked?    

     If anyone has any ideas as to what I am doing wrong, please let me 
know.  I am sure it is something simple (it usually is) but for the 
moment I do not see it.  I thought I had this copy problem nailed before, 
and aside from this procmail is working fabulously.  Please send any 
advice or recommendations you may have.

Sincerely,
-Andy
