duplicate delivery.

2014-02-09 Thread Alvin Starr
I am using postfix with Cyrus and I have a number of people who are 
using clients that will not place a  copy of the sent mail into the Sent 
folder.
I have configured postfix to place a BCC'd copy into the sent folder.
I was hoping the the duplicate delivery mechanism would work to insure 
that the same message was not duplicated in sent but It is failing to 
catch the dups.
I am guessing that since one copy of the message is created using the 
imap interface and the other is created using the LMTP delivery that the 
duplicate delivery is not catching them.

Has anybody com up with a way to fix this?
I am not adverse to running a periodic duplicate scan.

To be precise, a client creates the sent mail copy by writing it to the 
folder with IMAP. That copy is not delivered by SMTP or LMTP.

What makes this idea a hopeless task, in my opinion, is that each client 
has its own name for the sent folder. Sent, Sent Mail, Sent Messages, and 
sent-mail, are the most common but not a full list.
