Re: Re: dupe checking

My theory was that many msgids are generated by unix time, some are poorly implemented and may shoot of several different messages in a second, which some other more robust dupe checkers would notice because they work off the whole message not just message id, but postie did not.
I have a rant about that very subject here:

The FTN message-ID was just badly conceived and documented. Especially considering there was already a better concept well-documented in IETF's RFC-822.
