NAME
Mail::Audit::KillDups - Mail::Audit plugin for duplicate suppression
SYNOPSIS
use Mail::Audit qw(KillDups);
$Mail::Audit::KillDups::dupfile = "/home/simon/.msgid-cache";
my $mail = Mail::Audit->new;
$mail->killdups;
DESCRIPTION
This is a Mail::Audit plugin which provides a method for checking and supressing duplicate
messages; that is, mails with message-ids which have been previously seen.
METHODS
"killdups"
Checks the incoming message against a file of previously seen message ids, ignores it
if it's already seen, and adds it if it hasn't been. $Mail::Audit::KillDups::dupfile
contains the name of the file used; if you don't set this, it will be .msgid-cache in
the current directory. (Probably your home directory.)
The data in $Mail::Audit::KillDups::dupfile will be treated as a ring buffer, where
the end of the buffer will be delimited by two newline characters. When the file size
exceeds $Mail::Audit::KillDups::cache_bytes bytes, the message id will be written at
the beginning of the file. Old message ids in the file will be overwritten. The
default cache size is 10000 bytes, which is enough space for about 200 message-ids.
The semantics are tortured; the return values are as follows:
false - not a duplicate
+1 - an error occured during dupcheck
-1 - message is a duplicate
