Hi,
I'm having a wierd problem and would greatly appreciate your help.

Our developers are using a product called smtp.net from a company
called ExclamationSoft (www.exclamationsoft.com). This piece sends out
emails using a postfix 2.0.13 server as a relay. Everything works fine
till they try to send out mails to "cc" addresses with more than 1
address in the cc field. The first cc address gets the email fine but
can not see the other addresses in the cc field, he sees only his
address in the cc field. The other persons in the cc field also get
the email but as if they were in the bcc field.

This works perfectly fine when using sendmail as the relay instead of
postfix.

Please advise.

Thanks!!
Naveen

Show the message as delivered by Sendmail. Show the same message as
delivered by Postfix. Add three or more "-v" flags to the smtpd line in
master.cf, post log output for a transaction submitting such a message
showing all header records written to the cleanup socket. (rec_put() runs
verbose with 3 or more "-v" flags).

The RFC requires syntactically correct addresses that are separated
by commas. Tell the vendor to correctly implement the RFC.
