Topic: Email not going to the right mail boxes.

[askelon]

I use the multidrop email setup for my server running SME 6.01.  Everythings working perfect apart from when emails get sent to more than 1 person wiht a mailbox on my server.  For example,  my sister sent an email (from  her webmail on her ISP) to approx 10 people, 3 of them were mail addresses on my server.  I ended up getting all 3 messages and manually having to forward them to the correct people. I also recieve emails from a mailing list for one person.  I had them check the email address for the list and it was listed correctly but I still get the msgs.  Anyone got any ideas as to why this would be happening?  Its not a big deal, just more a pain in the butt.

This is a fundamental limitation of multidrop - mail from mailing lists and Bcc: will be delivered incorrectly in some cases.

Avoid multidrop if at all possible.

If not, see if your ISP can add a Delivered-To: or similar header which you can use as the multidrop header.

I had a feeling that was the case.  Oh well.  May attempt to talk to my ISP sometime today and see what they can do
