Well, initially, I thought it was from a .forward. Afterwards, I learned
that today's Debian/Exim configuration doesn't need a .forward to call
procmail. As soon as a .procmailrc file exists in the user's home
directory, mail will be handed over.
But there is indeed this .forward file, which pipes mail through
procmail:
|/usr/bin/procmail

Well, I did to be able to reply to this... :-/ However, my mail is in
Maildir-format, and pine doesn't seem to like it (nor does elm, for that
matter).
At this moment (as at all others), several duplicate mails are in my
inbox. For instance, one written by Vivek Kumar, with a subject of "nfs
problem. When I have a look in ~/Mail/inbox/, I see -- indeed -- two
mails that are exactly the same...
However, the longer this takes, the more I'm beginning to feel a little
nervous, since it undoubtedly has to do with some misconfiguration of
mine.
Diff for the two messages of the above example spits out this:
2c2
< ([127.0.0.1] helo=localhost ident=tom)
---
> ([127.0.0.1] helo=localhost ident=fetchmail)

One of the messages seems to be delivered about a minute later than the
other, and it's obviously treated as a different message (exim-id's
differ). Me and my newbie-ness suspect it has something to do with the
first difference (ident=tom <-> ident=fetchmail). Could someone
enlighten me...?
