Mail ignores multiple email addresses in Address Book
Authored by: Trunkmonkey on Oct 23, '03 04:33:27PM

Depends on the SMTP server. My sendmail server strips parses all the headers and makes sure each user only gets a single copy while my qmail server dutifully delivers multiple copies.

It also depends on alias expansion. Say security@foo.com is an alias for sean@foo.com. If email is sent To: security@foo.com and Cc: sean@foo.com, sendmail will parse headers upon deliver, expand the aliases and only deliver one copy. Again, qmail does the dumb thing and blindly delivers to each address separately.
