Hello,

Postfix currently allows two modes of operation when a message arrives
at the target more than once:

1. With recipient deduplication, but no X-Original-To
header(enable_original_recipient=yes)

2. With X-Original-To header, but no recipient deduplication
(enable_original_recipient=no)

Which desired behaviour most useful depends on the recipient -- some
recipients will benefit from the X-Original-To header [a service bot
with many names, for instance] and many others benefit from
deduplication [human list members, for instance].

The two desired behaviours seem unrelated, except for technical
reasons.  As a possible remedy that decouples the desires, I propose to
add a third mode:

3. With possibly multiple X-Original-To headers (or one header with
multiple addresses) as a result of recipient deduplication
(enable_original_recipient=collect)

This would benefit both use cases mentioned, making it less difficult to
choose from for email administrators.


I hope this is a useful suggestion :)


Thanks,
