Safe duplicate filter

1998-01-28 06:00:02
I use a duplicate filter as suggested by the man pages, but
I run into trouble when file locking errors occur on the
NFS server (which runs OSF, while the mail server runs Solaris);
because the message ID is marked as received when procmail
is run the first time. When procmail times out, the mail
returns to queue, and procmail discards the mail the when it
is run the next time.

Can anyone suggest a fix ?  
Or do I have to give up filtering duplicates ?
TIA
