I'm using this recipe to filter duplicate messages:
:0 Whc: msgid.lock
| formail -D 8192 .msgid.cache
:0 a:
$HOME/mail/duplicates
I get these messages when I run mailstat:
40 ## /bin/sh: cd: $HOME/mail/backup: Not a directory
40 cd /home/holtzm/mail/backup && rm -f dummy `ls -t msg.* | s
40 ## formail: Couldn't open ".msgid.cache"
40 $HOME/mail/backup <<=====wrote normally to a file
1 ## procmail: Error while writing to "formail"
40 ## procmail: Lock failure on "msgid.lock"
These are in addition to the mailstat output listing the number of new
messages in each folder.
I tried making backup a directory and the error message disappeared,
however the contents were listed by "reference number" and each had to be
opened to see the sender. When I went back to backup as a file the message
list reads as it would in a normal mailbox, listed by sender.
msgid.cache looks like this:
-rw------- 1 holtzm holtzm 8238 Aug 10 21:15 .msgid.cache
I'm not sure why 1 message gave:
1 ## procmail: Error while writing to "formail"
Haven't found anything in the docs about this unless I missed it.
I'm running procmail-3.22-5 on RH7.3. Any help or pointers would be
appreciated. Thanks
