I recommend *not* using those recipes. I tried them years ago and
I'd like to know exactly what the issue is, because dupes are pretty
irritating, and if formail is unreliable, I'll implement something
I think it is mainly a personal style issue, namely: I kept a
mailbox of the duplicate messages and it was more of a pain for
me to regularly go into my 'dupes' mailboxes and make sure
nothing important only showed up there than to just deal with
them in the normal (non-de-duping) way.
Because 'man procmailex' says this:
Beware if you have delivery problems in recipes below this
one and procmail tries to requeue the mail, then on the
next queue run, this mail will be considered a duplicate
and will be thrown away.
I could never bring myself to not checking the 'dupe' box. I hope
this makes sense.
