Exim and multiple recipients.

[neil.hearn]

Hi guys.
I am hoping that someone here can point me in the right direction.

I have searched the internet for 2 days trying to find an answer and I really can't (I thought I was good at this kind of thing, too).

Any Ways...
What I am trying to do is...

Currently, an e-mail routes to our domain. It goes through the catchall and into the catchall mailbox.


Now, If i send an e-mail to dave@..., frank@... and james@... (all in the To: field) it only puts one copy of the mail in the mailbox.

What I want is 1 copy per recipient.

Is there any way to make exim do this?
I have tried playing with batch_max settings and use_bsmtp = false. I have even tried messing with envelope_to_add. all t no avail.

I could really do with some help.
Just a pointer, a spark to set me off in the right direction. Anything!

Thanks

Is the email for aal recipients going to the same mailbox (forwarders/catch-all)?

Yes, indeed it is.
james frank and dave all route to the same physical box called catchall.

In that case it is expected behavior (and I wouldn't be happy if it did something else to be honest, it reduces the amount off emails to process).

I am aware it is expect. lol
But I dont want it to do it.
I was really hoping that the responses to my post would contain details relevant to my request.

I suggest you post to the exim-users mailing list.

Most of us here use exim the way it's intended to work by default.

By the way, I strongly suggest against using catchall on today's 'net; it will result in a huge amount of spam.

In an alphabetical spam attack, using the scenario you suggest, you could get hundreds or thousands of spam emails clogging your server.
