allow duplicate messages

[JonathanGilpin]

Hi,

I have been setting up a catchall system on my exim server.

I have a mysql table with users in for example. postmaster@...
and then the following setup:

mysql_aliases:
   driver = redirect
   file_transport = address_file
   pipe_transport = address_pipe
   data = ${lookup mysql{SELECT destination FROM aliases,emailtable
WHERE emailtable.email = aliases.destination and (aliases.address = '$
{quote_mysql:$local_part}@${quote_mysql:$domain}' or aliases.address =
'*@${quote_mysql:$domain}')}}

This has an alias of *@domain.com to postmaster@... to create a
catchall...

However, with this setup, duplicate mails are dropped.. so if someone
sends an email to bob@...,eggs@... then only one message
is delivered with Two addresses on the Envelope-to field..

How can I modify this so that two seperate messages are delivered to
the Maildir? I need this method to work as I am delivering the
messages via SMTP from the Maildir to Exchange Servers.

Kind Regards,

Jonathan Gilpin

How are you delivering from maildir to the exchange servers? Both
envelope-to addresses should be sent in the SMTP session when delivering to
the exchange server.

I'm using serialmail and a fifo socket and some bridging code.. But  
thats not the issue. The issue is I want seperate emails delivered to  
the Maidlir with a single Envelope-To instead
fo one email with multple addresses seperated by a comma for the  
Envelope To.

Besides the increased disk space usage and increased I/O for each message,
you can look at the batch_max and batch_id options. Also consider possibly
delivering the mail into BSMTP format (into a maildir structure) which can
the be replayed at a later stage.

Any points on where to figure this approach out?
