It doesn't matter, because SBBSecho's dupe checking is flawed anyway. It only
checks for dupes when it imports messages into the message base. Arriving
echomail is never checked by SBBSecho before it forwards it to its links.

That's why you get Path lines like this (from my dupe area):

  @PATH: 249/303 203/0 320/119 123/500 261/38 249/303

When for instance Joe writes a message on his synchronet system, and on the way
a system strips the seen-by's. So when it arrives at Joe's system again (with
the same MSG-ID), Joe's SBBSecho happily forwards it again (without dupe
checking) to its links for the second time...

Bye, Wilfred.
