Instead of doing that, may I suggest creating a tagged boolean
array like this?
(indes as)LineNum Duplicate?
-----------------------------
1 .F.
2 .F.
3 .T.
4 .T.
You can store each cell in just a single bit, thus, each bytes
will hold up to 8 lines. By refered each lines indirectly,
you even could left them in the original file:
(index as)LineNum (Far)Offset
------------------------------
1 0
2 21
3 45
4 66

How about defining a hard-coded maximum limit? i.e., only the
first 100 lines get processed, the rest are ignored.

Scan them first as a whole, using the indirect tagged method
above. After all, all of them are ended up as RCPTs, aren't
they? ;-)

Who knows? Just to be save, IMHO. Once a spammer get caught,
his/her mailer will get a really bad "name", and the words
usually spreads like a wildfire. Remember Pegasus and
Antonino? The later even gone for good now.
