Hi all,

I've got a little problem with hotmail recipients (and maybe others but I
didn't test it yet) and my james 2.1. Maybe my problem has already been
adressed (or fixed) and if so, sorry about the inconvenience.

Basically, the problem doesn't seem related to hotmail recipients, but
that's the mail system (besides my own James) where I have a lot of accounts
and usually do all of my testing.

My problem is that when I send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (my
email), everything works fine. The logs report the mail delivered and the
mail is delivered. When I send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (doesn't
exist), I got an error in the log, the mail is spooled for further retries
and after the number of retries of my James, the server notifies me of the
failure.

Now if I send an email to both accounts (mine and the nonexistent one), I
get a 550 error (in the logs), notifying me that one of the two addresses
doesn't exist, and the mail is stored for retries.... even though one of the
two addresses is correct!!!!! The mail will never get delivered to the valid
address.

This problem doesn't exist if the two recipients doesn't belong in the same
mail server (ie: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

It seems to me that James is treating all the addresses belonging to a
unique mail server in one transaction and that if this transaction fails all
the recipients gets impacted by the failure (even if the failure was related
to only one of the recipients)... but that's just my personnal guess

Below is enclosed the related part of my mailet.log

And thanks for the good work and the excellent mail sever!
