Thanks for the additional suggestion but I'm still not able to do what I'm attempting without an address rewrite causing problems, so I'll do as you suggest and try and explain the problem without trying to solve it. I have two mail servers. The first mail server acts as MX for a domain. That domain has a catchall delivery rule and a few specific addresses. Mail that doesn't match a specific address is forwarded on to the second mail server (via SMTP). Mail to any of the specific addresses is delivered into a local, per address mailbox on the first mail server, but a copy is also sent on to the second mail server so that this second mail server receives a copy of any mail sent to an address in the domain. The second mail server must see mail being delivered to the same address to which it was sent on the first mail server. Is this possible without a custom delivery agent, which is how I'm currently solving this problem?
