Re: [webmin-l] Mail Problems

[Cary R. <ca...@cp...>]

Thanks for the tips, Craig.

I just got through reading both of those twice :)
It does look like procmail will accomplish what I am after if I was about 
10 times more savvy that I am. LOL
It shows an example of how to recognize emails with duplicate mail ID's 
which is close, but these emails don't have duplicate ID's. It's like they 
are sent from a perl/PHP script in a WHILE loop or something.
It looks like procmail can be configured to deal with the problem I have. 
Just going to take me some time to figure out just how.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read and respond to my question.
