John,

> Imail creates a separate message for each recipient.

Well,  it  does when each recipient has a separate SMTPD session! Your
example  is  not  representative,  since  Yahoo  created  5  different
connections to IMail.

Here is one of the threads:

> 20021127 125501 127.0.0.1       SMTPD (00250022) [64.171.65.17] connect
> 216.136.226.179 port 20230

> 20021127 125501 127.0.0.1       SMTPD (00250022) [216.136.226.179] HELO
> web20706.mail.yahoo.com

> 20021127 125501 127.0.0.1       SMTPD (00250022) [216.136.226.179] MAIL
> FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

> 20021127 125501 127.0.0.1       SMTPD (00250022) [216.136.226.179] RCPT
> TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

> 20021127 125502 127.0.0.1       SMTPD (00250022) [216.136.226.179]
> D:\IMail\spool\D312500250022e271.SMD 1590

As you can see, one message = one Q/D file. Not surprising. :)

When you actually send to 2+ addresses at the same 'nobody'-ed domain,
IMail  rewrites  them  all  into  the  target of the nobody alias when
creating  the  Q  file  (and writes "deliver to alternate" in the SMTP
session  to  signify  this).  And although they do appear as separate,
identical  recipients  in the Q file, SMTP32 reconciles them into just
one recipient when delivering.
