Re: duplicate suppression and syncronizing?

2005-11-14 Thread Bill Kearney
 The duplicate supression database is used by lmtpd when delivering mail.

 It is not used at all by imapd. If it was amusing things would happen when
 people tried to copy messages around.

Yes!  That's the answer I need to hear.  I agree, it would be quite a mess
if it affected moving and copying using an IMAP client.  But before I told
it to --delete the source mailbox I wanted to be SURE.

Somewhat tangentally, is there a way to use sieve or something else within
cyrus to investigate duplicates in a given folder?  I do know some mail is
duplicated.  Thunderbird has an extension available to dig through the
messages to find duplicates.  But is there something clever within sieve
that can do it?

Each message delivery or sieve action (fileinto, redirect etc) causes a 
duplicate_check() to see if the combination of Message-ID plus action plus 
(mailbox name or redirect address) has been seen before, followed by a 
duplicate_mark() if it is new. This isn't visible to the end user.
