I'm trying to track down and quash some Rumplestiltskin attacks and
something I see in the debugging log for qmail-scanner is puzzling me.

I see for some emails that the recipient info looks something like this in
the debug log:

recips is " [EMAIL PROTECTED] , [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] "

Now I've tried to duplicate this by sending myself some spam with multiple
recipients from my Eudora webmail account.  I've tried putting a list of
addresses in the To:, CC:, and BCC: fields, using commas, semi-colons, and
spaces as delimiter.  However when the mail arrives at my system, each
recipient is processed by qmail-scanner-queue separately. I see in the lines
such as this in the debug log:

recips is " [EMAIL PROTECTED] "
and then another that says:
recips is " [EMAIL PROTECTED] "
etc.

Is this a function of how different MTAs handle the sending of mail?  I also
notice that these that have multiple recipients on one line tend to be
fairly rare, and always seem to be comma delimited.

Thanks in advance for enlightenment on this.
