to automatically delete duplicate mail, put this in your .procmailrc:

 :0 Wh: msgid.lock
 | formail -D 8192 msgid.cache

that will discard duplicates, by keeping the last 8k of message ids in
msgid.cache


if, like me, you aren't game to have mail automatically deleted, try:

 # Throw away duplicates
 :0 Whc: msgid.lock
 | formail -D 8192 msgid.cache

 :0 a:
 duplicates

and then delete the "duplicates" file every month or so without
looking at it first anyway.


(check procmailex(5) for other nifty procmail examples)
