Nigel,

thanks for your e-mail. It gave me a big "ahaaa" but unfortunately
I am still a little bit confused:

According to this link, the default for batch_max is 1 which should result
in no batching at all. However we have not used batch_max so far in
our local transport:

local_delivery_mysql:
  driver = appendfile
  delivery_date_add
  envelope_to_add
  return_path_add
  #group = mail
  #user = mail
  mode = 0660
  directory_mode = 770
  mode_fail_narrower = false
  maildir_format
  directory = ${lookup mysql{MYSQL_LOCALUSER_HOME}{$value}{'fail'}}

Thus, we assume that the default of batch_max is active (1) but we still
see e-mails with multiple recipients pointing to the same postbox
only once.

Happy for any advice
Sascha
