Re: [Exim] Multiple rcpt to commands

Doing it manually:
telnet localhost 25
mail from: mike.wayburne@???
rcpt to: userunknown@???
rcpt to: mikew@???
data
test
.

gives the following headers:

Doing it through OE:

I can see that the difference between the 2 headers is that the one from OE gives the extra:
Reply-To: "Mike Wayburne" <mike.wayburne@???>
To: <userunknown@???>
Cc: <mikew@???>
Subject:

The one where I am having the problem is "To: <userunknown@???>" and the "Cc: <mikew@???>" (the rest of the
headers I'm not worried about - I can generate those) which doesn't show up in the first set of headers and I want it to. Is this a
bug or is exim supposed to do this?

This doesn't make any sense.

What do you mean "lost in the headers"? Can you post an example of those
headers and your exim logs that pertain to the transaction?
How are you doing things "manually"? Are you telneting to port 25 and
issueing raw SMTP commands? Please explain.

MS OE behaves poorly when one of the addresses is rejected by the local
MTA, but that's a client problem and not an exim problem.
