I was thinking more along the lines of Kmail parsing the To and CC strings to check if there were multiple recipients, then handing off multiple jobs to postfix. But if postfix can handle the parsing itself then I suppose that would be a solution as well. I do not know enough to judge what the disadvantages of that method would be, however. > If you want to prevent spam, use a good spam filter, but > don't go to such extremes as not sending an email to multiple > recipients. And email addresses are meant to be public. The issue is that I do not want the user who knows my [email protected] address to even know that the [email protected] address even exists. > In case you did not notice, I have my email address with > a mailto: and everything clearly available on every page of > my home-site, unobfuscated. I did see that when you got slashdotted. I wondered if that affected your spam levels. > Furthermore, if you want to send an email individually to > several recipients. You can use the "Send again" feature. That most certainly is a solution. As I am stuck on Thunderbird without this feature in Kmail, I did not know that it exists. I do not think that it existed in Kmail when I stopped using it last, around KDE 3.2 or something.
