The basic question is: what is a duplicate? However, neither script I would call general enough for automatic processing
dbmail has just "suppress_duplicates = yes" and silently ignores *new received* messages with the same message-id to the same user as a global setting
Wasn't there a thread some days/weeks ago, that Pigeonhole behaves the same by default and the poster asked how long the timeframe is Pigeonhole remembers the ids?
Actually, I still wonder about whether or not the same message-id is sufficient to decide to "silently drop" a message, as I interprete "to ignore a message" as "to drop". They might came different paths, some MUA might not generate ids unqiue world-wide or time-depended, ... . It's a matter of taste, IMHO
if it generates one it's unlikely to have the same message-id for the same RCPT
yes, but then some recipients forward (automatically or manually). Or you a fetchmail-like grabber that re-transmits the message, ... .
- usually the current timestamp is part of it
that I mean with "time-depended", but you also used "unlikely" and "usually". So you still see a little chance, that the message-id is not world-wide unique. ;-)
I know, nowadays all MUAs should be capable of generating sensible message ids and some claims about bandwith and such are outdated, too. You have to rely on information you do not control -> you have to decide how far to trust.
