Not if it is splitted into separate mails. That is my general point here.
Or I can add a header containing the recipients for this transport.

I can understand that. But what about when de-duplication occurs, save the
addresses in a variable that is part of the internal mail transport
structure. So when the mail comes to a transport I can use that variable
to add a new header, or later, if you feel for the effort, it could be
used to un-de-duplicate the message. It might be useful later on for other
things too, like pop-smtp batching. I think Microsoft already has somthing
that can fetch a smtpbatch from a popbox. This it actually a better way to
handle dialup mail servers instead of the reverse smtp feeds wich needs
some trigger to start it and then sends the mail to some dynamically IP
address. *shiver*
