Hi,

I'm not using smtp... I have a catchall alias of *@domain going to a maildir. I then end up with a message with two addresses in the Envelope-To: E.G

Envelope-to: a-4c7@???,
ap_wood@???,
a-_a4@???,
apa1776@???

I would like to change this behaviour to deliver a message with a single Envelope-To address in each so I end up with 4 messages in the Maildir (in this case)

I looked at the batch_max function but that seems to be for SMTP only?
