Odd problem. While parsing a 3298 messages archive (over 8Mb), I
saw these errors come up (lines wrapped):
message 2006:
Message-ID collision,
'99092122564200.00677@luca.home'
already present - discarding message.
message 2040:
Message-ID collision,
'3.0.6.32.19990921140255.00940180@mail.ignitionstate.com'
already present - discarding message.
message 2065:
Message-ID collision,
'3.0.6.32.19990921140255.00940180@mail.ignitionstate.com'
already present - discarding message.
message 2346:
Message-ID collision,
'37EADD6F.5B16D817@qgl.org' already present - discarding message.
message 2392:
Message-ID collision,
'4.1.19990924163420.00aaf4a0@stud-iss2.cs.fh-nuernberg.de'
already present - discarding message.
message 2519:
Message-ID collision,
'3.0.6.32.19990924180018.00a009f0@mail.ignitionstate.com'
already present - discarding message.
When I went back and checked on the archive, sure enough. These
messages have identical MessageID's on them in the headers, BUT, the
messages are different. They're not duplicates. So, a) how in the
world can one get email with identical MessageID's in the header
(spanned across several days sometimes), and b) how in the world to
solve this problem now?
Notice how message 2040 and 2064 have the same ID already. The
messages right before them (2039 and 2063) also have the same ID, which
is what hypermail read first, then came across the same ID for a second
time, and pitched the message.
