Exim's filters are easy to read, but they don't seem to be as powerful
as procmail. I'd love to be wrong about that statement so I could switch
everything to exim. How do you remove messages with duplicate message
id's in exim?
from .procmail:
# remove duplicate messages, ie. to me and mailing list
:0 Wh: msgid.lock
| formail -D 32768 $MAILDIR/cache.msgid
You may not think dropping these messages is a good idea, but when a
mailing list gets hosed and spews several copies of every message I like
it.
