In one installation we are using sieve "redirect :copy" to create copy of the incoming email (local boss gets copy of its employees mails). There is a problem when the incoming email has multiple To/CC entries with local users. Multiple copy/redirects are created (one for each employee) and there are multiple copies in "boss" account. Could this instead be implemented by MTA as automatic bcc: boss of all incoming mails? Unfortunately no. The employee/boss structure is quite complicated. Some employees have multiple "bosses", there are also some "project" emails when the structure is even more complicated. We are using dedicated sieve_before script for each user based on %u variable. Well, it would be possible to build a doveadm script that deletes the duplicates after delivery, but currently there's no implementation to avoid delivering duplicate Message-IDs in the first place.
I don't really like such a Message-ID-based deduplication feature enabled by default, but something like this could be nice:
fileinto :copy :x-deduplicate "boss";
Anyway, probably not going to be implemented anytime soon. Maybe there is a way to use a procmail with something like this:
:0 Wh: msgid.lock | formail -D 8192 .msgid.cache
But is there a safe way to use it together with sieve? Using Pigeonhole Sieve Pipe Plugin?
