Just in case you are - I wouldn't cron it since you'll get duplicate processes
checking the mailbox at the same time which would account for duplicates. If
you have to cron it though use flock to make sure more than one is never
running at the same time:
/usr/bin/flock -n /tmp/fetchmail.lockfile /path/to/fetchmail -blahblahblah
I'm assuming you start fetchmail as a daemon instead of cron'd though. If you
are running fetchmail as a daemon make sure you use --uidl when starting the
daemon in the /etc/init.d (or equivalent) something like this:
/usr/bin/fetchmail --uidl -f /etc/fetchmail.conf
-U | --uidl
(Keyword: uidl)
Force UIDL use (effective only with POP3). Force client-side tracking
of 'newness' of messages
(UIDL stands for "unique ID listing" and is described in RFC1939).
Use with 'keep' to use a
mailbox as a baby news drop for a group of users. The fact that seen
messages are skipped is
logged, unless error logging is done through syslog while running
in daemon mode. Note that
fetchmail may automatically enable this option depending on upstream
server capabilities. Note
also that this option may be removed and forced enabled in a future
fetchmail version. See also:
—idfile.
