Hi, all... If I were to implement this (and I have thought about it from time to time), I would first create an incoming mail rule for the (ultimate) recipient account to direct these messages to a PIPE for processing by a Perl script. Then, I would hold them up for a configurable amount of time 30-60 seconds, and if I had more than one message in the bin, compare the headers and content and apply a weight to one list over another, ultimately discarding the "excess ones" and (re) submitting the weighted one to the user's mailbox. I just have never worked out the mechanics of the process. For me, while REXX is a native scripting language (on OS/2), I would still likely opt for Perl simply because its string manipulation is so good. -- Lewis Sent from my HP Pre3 On Aug 12, 2016 3:50 PM, Technical Support <[email protected]> wrote: Hello, Mailing lists are processed independently. Postings through different lists replace Message-Id with different values, the original Message-Id is not necessarily kept. The postings are delivered independently. How do we know the next posting to be delivered into a mailbox of a subscriber is a duplicate of another? At the moment the message is to be stored we need to either search the destination mailbox for a duplicate Message-Id, or keep a track of recently delivered ones. The former is too expensive, the accuracy of the latter may be affected by many factors: flow rate for the given account, delays in distributions, etc. On 2016-08-12 17:46 , Bob D wrote: > Amen to this.
