From spec.txt:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The "batch_max" option specifies the maximum number of addresses that can be
delivered together in a single run of the transport. Its default value is one.
When more than one address is routed to a transport that has a "batch_max"
value greater than one, the addresses are delivered in a batch (that is, in a
single run of the transport), subject to certain conditions:
. If any of the transport's options contain a reference to $local_part, no
batching is possible.
. If any of the transport's options contain a reference to $domain, only
addresses with the same domain are batched.
. If "batch_id" is set, it is expanded for each address, and only those
addresses with the same expanded value are batched. This allows you to
specify customized batching conditions.
. Batched addresses must also have the same errors address (where to send
delivery errors), the same header additions and removals, the same user
and group for the transport, and if a host list is present, the first
host must be the same.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
So, what is in your transport? Does it refer to $domain?
