Here's how you get rid of duplicate email..
at the beginning of your .procmailrc:
--snip-- :0 Wh: msgid.lock | formail -D 65536 $HOME/.msgid.cache --snip--
Creates a message-id cache with up to 65k of message-id's for cache.. eliminates dupes.. seeing an average message-id is 45 chars or so this will give you a cache of the last 1456 e-mail msg-ids.
..but unless you are as popular as Jamie Rishaw, 8k will probably do. That's from the procmailex man page by the way. Everyone should be required to memorize it. Nesting rules rock. -chrz
