Gordon, could one potentially change the replies after the first RCPT TO to 4xx responses, to ensure the incoming message is being delivered to exactly one user? Admittedly, this would require a change inside courier itself (unless MAXRCPT applies to incoming SMTP transactions too?), and I could see poorly implemented SMTP servers trying to deliver getting gummed up by it… Bernd, in practice, what I’ve found is taking the most lenient spam filtering threshold for a group of recipients “generally” works. Most spam we’ve seen coming in to multiple users gets delivered over multiple connections, not in one batch. -Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
