Problem. $recipients, when it is available, lists ALL the recipients of
a message. A pipe transport may be delivering only SOME of them. There
is no variable that contains that list.

Hmm. Should work according to the docs, though it won't do what you
want if it does!

Since you have not changed batch_max from its default, you will in fact
only get one recipient at a time in this transport.

Try running with debugging turned on, that might help. You *did* submit
your test message over SMTP, didn't you?

I have never used UUCP, but my impression was that people made use of
batch SMTP for passing over envelope addresses - is that an alternative?
