Exim 4.X and GMail delivery Issues
Hi.

Testing GMail delivery before shifting to new server with EXIM MTA.
BCC Delivery Works fine
However, for a given mail with BCC recepient also, the Primary recepient gets two copies of the same mail. Have not tested with To CC And BCC combination yet.
The Catchall account does not have that "Extra Copy" of mail. (ie only two copies of the mail is there, yet the delivery total is Three)


Header Of The To: Mail

The Two Mails in the To's Account has differing Headers, one of the Two And One Of The BCC as noted above, but it's two copies of the same mail that reaches to To

somegmdomain is one of the GM domains shifted to new server. GM is still operating on the old server and would be shifted soon.

What version of Gossamer Mail is this? And is this an original incoming.pl?

GM 2.2.0
incoming.pl : only thing that is changed (per GT) is to take care of the "wierd" MTA setup to take care of BCC issue.

Sorry for missing the above info in my post
TIA

Looking at the headers of that emails, it looks as if all you need is the default incoming.pl with the addition of the Envelope-To header to the list of headers to check.

Hi.

Since currently, the GM domains are on two servers (one with wierd MTA setup --- mail.domain-user@servername ie the present one) and the other with Exim (the new server), i shall be reverting back to default incoming.pl once all the transfers are complete and shall report back the results accordingly.

Thanks

Added Envelope-To to incoming.pl and it resolved all the issues wrt delivery.
This is FYI wrt Exim 4.x
