• dupes in messagebase

    From Vincent Coen@2:250/1 to Carlos Navarro on Sat Apr 16 16:26:00 2022
    Hello Carlos!

    Saturday April 16 2022 17:17, you wrote to me:

    Is there any tool/script that can detect (and if possible,
    remove) dupe messages in a messagebase? (JAM, Squish, ...)
    You bbs system should be doing that as it tosses new messages.

    My tosser is doing it very well. I ask on behalf of a fellow sysop
    that didn't have dupe checking enabled and got a bunch of old dupe
    msgs that normally would have been discarded.

    (I can think of some ways of doing it without such a tool, but would
    not be useful for a BBS with users as lastread pointers would be
    lost.)

    That is a different and difficult problem to resolve and I don't have a answer.
