When I send email to multiple recipients in the To header,
eg: To: person1(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)org, person2(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)org, person3(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)org,
person4(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)org
person1 gets all the email (eg: 4 copies if sent as above)
and the others don't get any!
Repeat after me:
PROCMAIL IS NOT AN MTA.
Then, check the main procmail manpage, where you'll find words similar to
that in there.
The procmail recipes all have this form ...
:0
* ^TOperson1(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)org
! person1(_at_)our(_dot_)isp(_dot_)com
[snip - the others NEVER see the message as long as this one matches]
Looks OK to me, but I am really quite ignorant.
Can anyone see the flaw?
Take your email in hand, and manually run the logic - each of the
multiple-recipient copies you receive will match the FIRST recipe and stop
there. Hit the procmail list archives, and you'll see some of the
_limited_ mechanisms for dealing with this (which invariably break the
instant one of the recipients is BCC'd).
This is stuff you properly handle in the MTA aliases table or virtusertable.
