Actually, under SMTP protocol it is only one message delivered to a server with multiple addresses, it is the recipient server that splits it up and delivers a separate message to each addressee mail box.

No doubt it's dependant on the nature of the | list, but professional lists similar to this one probably have a fair number of | situations with multiple member addresses in a domain.
