Hi all

I have a problem with emails from a certain person (using Exchange) where if they add multiple addresses in the To field mail is misdirected when it reaches my server and does not reach the intended mailbox.

The mail ends up in our domains "catch all" box instead of rob.smith.

Is this a known issue? Sorry I'm not very up on the workings of Exim but my ISP uses it and seem useless at suggesting a solution.

Below are two example headers, the first misses the intended mailbox and the second arrives fine.

Thanks in advance

Rob
