Kind regards,

ok duplicsate emails (even across dsync, replication etc) is typically 
handled via a global sieve script


I use :

# cat duplicates.sieve
require "duplicate";           # for dovecot >= 2.2.18

if duplicate {
     discard;
     stop;
}

for the scripts

and setup sieve to work via my dovecot.conf file

relative parts below :

--------------------------------------------------------------------

protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve

protocol lmtp {
   mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
   postmaster_address = monitor@scom.ca
}


protocol lda {
   mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
}


plugin {
.....

   sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/sieve/.dovecot.sieve

   sieve_duplicate_default_period = 1h
   sieve_duplicate_max_period = 1d
   sieve_extensions = +duplicate +notify +imapflags +vacation-seconds
   sieve_global_dir = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve
   sieve_before = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/duplicates.sieve

.....
}

service managesieve-login {
   process_limit = 1000
   vsz_limit = 1g
   inet_listener sieve {
     port = 4190
   }
}

protocol sieve {
   managesieve_implementation_string = Dovecot Pigeonhole
   managesieve_max_line_length = 65536
}



------------------------------------------------------------------


note the sieve_before which handles duplictes during delivery etc.


Happy Monday !!!
