Absolutely. Unfortunately, multi-recipient messages and user-configurable
scanning metrics are incompatible when talking local_scan(). That's not going

and messages with more than one recipient. The trick is finding a suitable
way of handling the multi-recipient mails.
Thanks for everyone's input on this thread.
