Where is the "To:" in the headers with multiple recipients?

Hello,

I’m still trying to track down why I won’t get AdminCC mail when two or more
recipients on our domain are defined.

Our configuration is:
RedHat 6.2 as a mail relay, sits in DMZ. All the mail is put into one
mailbox.

Exchange 5.5 with POPBeamer software. The POPBeamer connects to the mail
relay’s mailbox and gets the mail, then give it to exchange.

This is how a mail with multiple recipients look like, in the mail relay’s
mailbox:

As you can see, there is no TO: field, so when the POPBeamer gets the mail,
it doesn’t have an address to send it to, and it fails to deliver.
When I send to two recipients on hotmail, both get the mail, so it is
probably something that is getting lost between RT (RedHat 7.3 with default
sendmail) and the mail-relay.

any ideas?
thanks!

Hi,

As you can see, there is no TO: field, so when the POPBeamer gets

the mail,

it doesn’t have an address to send it to, and it fails to deliver.

When I send to two recipients on hotmail, both get the mail, so it is

probably something that is getting lost between RT (RedHat 7.3

with default

sendmail) and the mail-relay.

Sounds like POPBeamer is not behaving how it should. A To-header is not
necessary in an email, just an envelope address is required for an MTA to
deliver an email.

POPBeamer presumably also doesn’t handle Bcc?

Cheers,

Martin
