As asked from Jeremy Harris <[email protected]>, I am sending some log
lines and part of /etc/aliases.
I sent 2 messages to the list I'm on.
On the first message I put myself in the Bcc field (that's what I
usually do)
2023-11-06 16:30:38 *1r05Is-003wbk-2b* <= [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]> H=x.xx.xxx ([127.0.0.1]) [My.ip.addr]
P=esmtpsa X=TLS1.3:TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256:128 CV=no
A=dovecot_plain:lf S=978
[email protected] T="#TESTE#"
from <[email protected]> fot [email protected] *[email protected]
*And received the message (once):
2023-11-06 16:30:38 1r05Is-003wbk-2b => lf <[email protected]>
F=<[email protected]> R=localuser T=local_delivery S=1117 QT=0s DT=0s
After, I sent a second test message without Bcc
2023-11-06 16:36:15 *1r05OJ-003wv4-1V* <= [email protected]
H=x.xx.xxxr ([127.0.0.1]) [My.ip.address] P=esmtpsa
X=TLS1.3:TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256:128 CV=no A=dovecot_plain:lf S=3738
[email protected] T="Fwd:
#TESTE 2#" from <[email protected]> for [email protected]
And received the message (once) as well:
2023-11-06 16:36:15 *1r05OJ-003wv4-1V* => lf
<[email protected]> F=<[email protected]> R=localuser
T=local_delivery S=3857 QT=0s DT=0s
Then indeed exim seems to be sending the message to me as a member of
the list. On the other hand, it seems that exim is ignoring my email
being in the Bcc field, otherwise I would have received 2 copies of the
message: one for being on the list, and a second copy as being on the
Bcc field. I checked in my /var/spool/mail/lf/Maildir/cur and there is
only one copy of the message.
And the exim.conf part that handles /etc/aliases is
system_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_fail
allow_defer
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
# user = exim
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
What's going on? Can you help?
Thank you.

Hello, Jarland
That's an important observation. One of the members of the list does
.forward the messages to GMail and may complaint. But the fact is that
the list I'm talking about does not have any gmail account.
Thank you.

Hopefully my reply is excess and irrelevant, but it may be worth
noting. We most commonly receive this complaint from our users when a
Gmail account is on the alias list, and that same Gmail account sends
the email to that alias. This being because Gmail uses a conversation
view that doesn't drop an unread message in your inbox which is the
exact same one you just sent, presumably because you wouldn't need a
new unread message in your inbox that you just sent.

Hello
With exim, if you are a member of a list defined in /etc/aliases and
you send a message to this list, you don't receive a copy of the
message you sent. Can we change this?
Thank you
