I've given up on "formail -D". Besides the problems you
mention, it kills the wrong messages. For me, duplicates
usually occur when someone Cc:'s me on a reply to one of my
messages in a list. In the vast majority of cases, the
copy sent directly to me will get here before the list copy
that detours through the list-server. The second version to
get to me (usually the list copy) gets dumped. I want to
receive the list copy, not the "personal" copy. I suggest the
following for this list, and similar recipes for other lists.
:0: duplicate.lock
*!^X-Loop:.procmail
*
^(Apparently-To|To|Cc):(_dot_)*procmail(_at_)informatik\(_dot_)rwth-aachen\(_dot_)de
duplicate
If no "X-Loop:" header containing the word "procmail" is
found, then it's not the list copy. If it is also addressed
to the list, then it's the "personal" copy heading for me.
