Hello,
I'm going back through my old archives, and because I've just learned
something, I'll share with you the secret (see attached text).
Using the `m' flag for local mailer defined in sendmail.cf under Mlocal
will do the trick (save the bandwidth), probably you can also add it if
you have the Mprocmail part (I don't know yet if it's worthwile to add it
to both definition or just to one of them...).
Hope this helps ;)

Is there another solution for the case of clientsite only controll ?
and in a separate message:
Another problem on this solution is the amount of data going over the wire
for the case of :
to: user1(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)de
cc: user1(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)de
lets asume that there is a fileattachment of 10mb size !
When using the solution suggested at sendmail.org the mail is splittet into 2
at the ISP side so, there are 20mb going over the wire :|
IMHO a client side solution would be better...if possible :)
Any other ideas ?
Regarding whether the problem can be solved without having the ISP
change something, if they (your ISP) aren't doing the server-side
correctly already, then something will have to change on their end.
If the envelope information isn't being saved somewhere, then it's *GONE*
and there's nothing you can do on the client-side to recover it.
As for the duplication of data, yes, it is possible to do it correctly
without duplicating the message on the ISP's side. However, it's
significantly more complicated: it requires that your virtual domain be
done via a 'mailertable' entry instead of a 'virtusertable' entry, it
needs procmail on the server-side with an rcfile that uses a recursive
INCLUDERC, and you have to change the configuration of the procmail
mailer in the sendmail.cf to pass multiple recipients in one invocation.
Note that the sendmail.cf change *used* to be the default, but *no one
handled it correctly*! It's not easy, folks...
