That's almost exactly the same setup as mine, the only difference is I don't try to remove duplicates in procmail, I try to prevent them by setting my reply-to header as the slug address for slug mail. see previous mail for an example. -- "Fear leads to anger.

No more duplicate messages. Ba-bow. If you procmail slug as I do, this doesn't work when the personal mail arrives first. The one with the slug headers goes to the bit bucket and you get half the slug list in your inbox, which defeats the purpose of procmailing in the first place. bits from .procmailrc: :0: * List-Id:.*slug.slug.org.au lists/slug :0: * ^List-Id:.*announce.slug.org.au lists/slug-announce Best is to use mutt, tell it that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a mailing list, and use 'L' for list-reply. Even better is remapping the reply key to listreply, group reply or single reply based on which mailbox you're in, which i don't have an example for, it's next on the list of things to do when i've got a moment. bits from .muttrc: lists [EMAIL PROTECTED] send-hook '~t ^slug@slug\.org\.au$' 'my_hdr Reply-To: slug' If you aren't using mutt, use a bit of nettiquette and take the time to fix your headers manually before sending. -- "Fear leads to anger.

Re: duplicate mail Re: [SLUG] Is Linus killing Linux?
But still the wasted bandwidth, etc etc the correct fix is to find a mailer that respects reply-to, and then set reply-to in yuor mails. -Thom * Mike Holland ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote on Tue Feb 20, 2001 at 07:37:01 +0800: > On Mon, 19 Feb 2001, Dean Hamstead wrote: > > > if (when) Linus dies (and i really hope he doesnt) > > So you think maybe Linus really is a God then? > > > > dont "reply to all please" one copy from to:slug is enough for me to read > > Dean, (and DaZZa too!) > > please fix your .procmailrc by adding: > > # Discard duplicate messages > :0 Wh: msgid.lock > | formail -D 8192 msgid.cache > > Oila!
