Abstract
A system and method for identifying unique and duplicate messages is provided. Messages are maintained, and a header and message body are extracted from each of the messages. A hash code is calculated for each message over at least part of the header and the body of that message. The messages with matching hash codes are grouped. One message in each group with two or more messages is randomly selected as a unique message. The remaining messages in the group are marked as exact duplicate messages.
