Re: Anyone else getting double postings?

touch isn't in 5bin on my system either, it is in /usr/bin, but when I use
/usr/bin nothing happens.  If I use /usr/5bin, the magic happens.  I'm not
running procmail on my system, it is on my school servers.  I'm using
procmail to sort the mail because I use an IMAP configuration and Outlook
can't filter IMAP mail unfortunately.  My goal is to have non-important
email dumped to their folders and have important email dumped to their
folders AND update the information in finger.  What if I dumped the message
and did a /usr/bin/touch thing for the message?

Like

:o
* ^TO_blah.blah.blah
ThisMailBox
| /usr/5bin/touch $ORGMAIL

Can you set up multiple actions like that?

Probably the touch is doing nothing; I don't think touch can be found in
/usr/5bin

On My (Linux) system, it lives in /bin

In any event, I do not think finger will say there's mail unless there's
something in /var/spool/mail/$USER or wherever.

The solution depends on just where your mail gets put. In eany event, if
you
have perl or Java, something could be cobbled together that will emulate
your
email client as far as checking mail goes, and which can be run from a
commandline, even in Windows.

Occasionally?  Probably a mail server burp, or even possibly a rule
problem
at your end (c flag).  Make sure you're not actually getting a CC:
on a
message you've replied to.

It's not Dan. I have them; the have different (and length) lists of
Received;
headers.

It's probably Shane:

[summer(_at_)possum procmail-admin]$ grep ^Message 211 217

[summer(_at_)possum procmail-admin]$ grep 'Making' *
211:Subject: Making "finger anyuser" look normal with procmail
217:Subject: Making "finger anyuser" look normal with procmail
219: Making "finger anyuser" [...]
220:>         Making "finger anyuser" [...]
[summer(_at_)possum procmail-admin]$ grep ^Message 211 217
211:Message-id: 
<002701c0238f$89bec410$20e2d782(_at_)res(_dot_)wpi(_dot_)edu>
217:Message-ID: 
<014b01c02403$096f12f0$20e2d782(_at_)res(_dot_)wpi(_dot_)edu>
[summer(_at_)possum procmail-admin]$


Note they have different message-ids (and the headers are capitalised
differently). In contrast, my messages have message-ids created here
