Command: md5cache Format: md5cache <time> Sets the time period for which listmanager retains the MD5 checksum for the message body for each submission sent to the list. If, in that time period, a message body arrives that generates the same MD5 checksum, the message is rejected. This prevents duplication of submissions without having to make the list moderated. Note that the message headers are not checked, so sending precisely the same message at different times or from different addresses will still be rejected. However, sending a message that differs by even a single character will produce a different checksum, and thus the second submission will pass this check. To quote the MD5(1) man page, it is "conjectured that it is computationally infeasible to produce two messages having the same message digest, or to produce any message having a given prespecified target message digest." What this means to you is that it's extremely unlikely that listmanager could reject two different postings that result in the same checksum. A value of "0" or "none" disables this feature. The time is composed of a number and letter. The letter possibilities are as follows: w (week), d (day), h (hour), m (minute) and s (second). These can be used in any combination for the desired effect. For example: md5cache 12w6d This would prevent the same message from being sent to the list for 12 weeks and six days. By extension, 12w6d is the same as 90d, and so on. You must be a list owner to use this command, and must have previously selected your list with the "select" command. See also: loop-detect select
