Yes, for emails received bcc to several recipients there seems to be no easy method to determine the user they were intended for. I filter on received headers for this purpose as more general than the occasional 'envelope to' or other similar headers that may be present. For me this is Postscript related rather than Xmail as my secondary mx is a catch-all mailbox on separate ISP and Mercury collects by pop3 and filters on received. When changes are made to Postscript and/or ISPs config I sometimes have to change filters (last time was a few years ago). David - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
