Duplicate Posts #31

Closed InsaneSplash closed 3 years ago

Great tool!!

I am picking up some issues around duplicate posts being created. I suspect it may have to do with the email having a CC or a second email address. Is there anything that can be done to only create 1 post from an email regardless of who it's destined for etc?

Having both the to and cc, it's the intended behaviour; feed readers often can deduplicate feed entries. It may be conceivable to define a special case / workaround on ktn's side, though.

Could you check whether the e-mails are identical identical. For newsletters, I'd suggest comparing the link targets. Are they different? You might have 2 subscriptions at a time gong.

Without providing the service in question, and no further information, it's hard to help / check if a bugfix works.

The posts are duplicates and are 100% the same.

Now Kill the Newsletter! doesn’t add repeated feed entries for a single email whose to, cc, bcc, and so forward, all point to the same address. I think that’s all we can do on our side.

I tried to reproduce the issue in a test, but failed. I hope it solves your issue anyway.

Enjoy.
