And furthermore: MYSQL_LOCALUSER_HOME probably contains a reference to $local_part, which in turn prevents batching anyway. > Thus, we assume that the default of batch_max is active (1) but we still > see e-mails with multiple recipients pointing to the same postbox > only once. It's strange - are you sure about the used transport (double check the log). I tested it here - and got confused - until I "discovered" that local_delivery isn't used in favour of a pipe transport (due to procmail). Using batch_max in the *used* transport has the expected influence on (to?) the Envelope-To-header. (4.63) -- Heiko
