(As you can see in this example.) This sounds like your MTA has a configuration problem. [Debbugs doesn't actually parse the mail to figure out where it was sent, anyway; you can Bcc: it messages if you want.]
So, this might indeed be related to postfix as MTA and the way the receive scripts handles incoming mails.
So what I did is:1. add the below block to master.cf (as described in the MTA Readme of debbugs)
"""
debbugs unix - n n - - pipe
flags=F user=debbugs argv=/usr/lib/debbugs/receive $recipient
"""
2. add a transport map for postfix (as described in the MTA Readme of
debbugs):
""" /etc/postfix/transport bugs.x2go.org debbugs: """ """ /etc/postfix/master.cf # debbugs transport transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport """Diverting all mails for the subdomain bugs.x2go.org to the debbugs: service/queue in postfix.
Till here, postfix refused to deliver mails into the receive script of debbugs.
If found then that for postfix in etch and above you have to add another file to the postfix configuration:
""" /etc/postfix/non-unix-users @bugs.x2go.org ACCEPT """ """ /etc/postfix/master.cf local_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/non-unix-users """ (For both maps, of course, one has to run the postmap command on the maps.)NOTE: The above information about the non-unix-users map has to be added to the Readme.MTA file.
WHAT REMAINS ------------So, but my observation with postfix + receive script in debbugs is, that debbugs's receive expects to be called once for every mail address found in the mail headers. So if you have <no>@debbugs.site in To: and cont...@debbugs.site in Cc: receive expects to be called twice for this one mail. Is this correct?
However, postfix sees the mail, with transport map just hands this one mail over to debbugs's receive script and then the receive script only sees one mail...

After some reading of the postfix documentations...

Don, it is found in postfix's man page of the postfix component pipe:
"""
SINGLE-RECIPIENT DELIVERY
Some destinations cannot handle more than one recipient
per delivery request. Examples are pagers or fax machines.
In addition, multi-recipient delivery is undesirable when
prepending a Delivered-to: or X-Original-To: message
header.
To prevent Postfix from sending multiple recipients per
delivery request, specify
transport_destination_recipient_limit = 1
in the Postfix main.cf file, where transport is the name
in the first column of the Postfix master.cf entry for the
pipe-based delivery transport.
"""
If debbugs is the transport name in the most left column in master.cf:
"""
debbugs unix - n n - - pipe
flags=F user=debbugs argv=/usr/lib/debbugs/receive $recipient
"""
Then altogether these 3 following lines for this transport have to be
added to main.cf:
""" # debbugs transport local_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/non-unix-users transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport debbugs_destination_recipient_limit = 1 """ I will send a patch for the MTA Readme in a minute.
