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 :)
