When it receives 2 emails, and both have the address of bob and charles, the script ended up executing action on bob and charles twice. By the same logic, if there are 3 recipients (same domain) in one email, postfix will deliver to the script 3 times and cause it to execute the action thrice to each user. <snip> The queue manager does not run scripts, it schedules delivery agents to > deliver email to all the recipients to which it is queued. > > - Some delivery agents can process multi-recipient messages, > these include pipe(8) and smtp(8), but not local(8).

Will that overwrite the "To:" header accordingly? If so, do you have a pointer on how to do this? Kind regards, Polo > -- > Viktor. >
