The headers are different. What constitutes a duplicate message?
The Message-ID header which is created when sending the mail. I remember when I was administering a SLOX (SUSE Linux Open Exchange) it was filtering out duplicates.. was very handy.
Gmail does just that, and I consider it a nuisance. If I send an email from there to any mail list, I will not get the copy from the list, because they consider it a duplicate, and so I will not know if it got there and when. I might get unsusbscribed and never know. Some new users think their mail was not posted and repeat. Likely, if on this list I get a reply sent to the list and CCed to me (which on some lists is considered the proper procedure), I only get the CCed copy, because it gets to gmail first, and the second one is considered a duplicate. No, I absolutely prefer receiving the duplicates, and remove them manually when I decide to, not when they decide. And by the way, some list servers (mailman), if they detect in the headers the mail was CCed to you and to the list may skip sending you a copy. But this time this is configurable. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
