Interesting... What happens if a message is cross-posted to more than one of your lists? It appears to me that each list would end up getting multiple copies.
A fine question, and a situation I've not empirically tested.
I wouldn't think that would occur though. I think that a message to "listA" and "listB" would both be directed to the "stripmime" account, once each, then each individually passed on to "clean.listA" and "clean.listB", without excessive duplication.
Well, I just did some empirical testing, and SIMS apparently can figure this out. If there are multiple local addresses all of which are pointed to the same folder, you only get *one* copy of the email. The addresses are individually listed in the resource fork (and in the text body, of course, but it's the ones in the resource fork that affect delivery).
Everything's working fine to use TOLD with SIMS except for one important step: prepending the addresses in the resource fork with an identifier and dropping them into the Submitted folder for reprocessing. It works like a charm when I do it manually.
Does anyone here know RealBasic or some other tool that can knock out a little helper app to check in the "Incoming Mail" folder periodically, take what's there, prepend an identifier to the address(es), and then dump it in the SIMS Submitted folder?
