BCC's are not distributed correctly
Hi All,
We have a problem with our email system, the email is setup as follows:
1- We have an email server setup at the ISP
2- We have one catchall account to recieve all the emails coming to the domain
3- We have a POP connector to retrieve the emails from the catchall account
4- The POP connector distributes the emails to Exchange 2003 Server
The Problem is:
When someone sends an email to for example: "user1@mydomain.com" with a BCC to "user2@mydomain.com" .. the email only gets delivered to "User1".
If the email is sent to "userabc@anotherdomain.com " and BCC to "user1@mydomain.com" the email gets delivered correctly to "user1".
If the email is sent to "userabc@anotherdomain.com " and BCC to "user1@mydomain.com" and "user2@mydomain.com" the email only gets delivered to "user1" !!!
When i viewed the header for an email on the ISP server before the POP connector pulls it, it was like this: (the email was sent to both "user1" and "user2" in the BCC)

As you can see, only "user1" appeared in the "X-Rcpt-To" header and thus the email was only delivered to "user1" while "user2" recieved nothing.
Your suggestions are highly appreciated.

this is a gernal normal behaivior when using a catchall-mailbox.
But it looks like you ISP does not create the X-Rcpt-To correctly. Ask them about this.
If you do not have too much user create a mailbox for each one.
