How do I split multiple recipients into multiple messages? 1

[mtv969]

I have an application that cannot handle multiple recipients on the To: line. I am front-ending with a sendmail process already and I would like sendmail to break apart the To: line and deliver a copy of the message to each recipient.

Is this something sendmail can handle?

Cheers,

Hi Dave,
I use sendmail on linux with procmail to copy incoming email with a specific 'from' and addressed 'To" to multiple addresses. Sounds like you're tryng to go opposite. Possibly you can try setting up a dummy mailbox inside, and use procmail to forward mail from that box outward.
I'd like to hear a solution.

Well I've been using Sendmail for many years and have even used many advanced features, now I've gone through much documentation asked around and posted to this forum without success. But I am pleased to say I have found a solution and that solution is called Postfix. It was amazingly easy to install and configure and seems to be faster as well.

It solved my problem perfectly by breaking about the recipients in the To: field and sending a copy of the message to each recipient, exactly what I needed and was one simple configuration key. I love it.

I will miss sendmail, it's been a good long run...

Cheers

Hi

Could u share the solution with us in more details as to how you used Postfix to achieve the same.

Postfix has a nifty feature that accomplishes my needs quite elegantly. There is a configuration key (default_destination_recipient_limit) which defines the maximum number of destination addresses it will use for redlivery. I simply set this to one and it sends copy of thr message to each address on the To: line. This is exactly what I needed.
