Re: [Plug] Red Hat is Coming!

Why not just check the body of each message and save the CRC value into
a database. That way when you get a new message, the list just looks
up the CRC in the "already recieved" table and sees if it exists. Then,
if it does it discards the mail. If it doesnt, it'll add the entry to
the database. Setting it up in mysql wouldnt be too hard. Just make sure
you do backups on a regular basis......
So... who wants to throw some code together real quick? I'd do it right
now but I'm busy scanning pix of my grrly, and she's way more funner
to look at than perl.
