Can someone please explain to me the difference between the 'batchsize' file, the "maxrcpts" option in the 'bofh' file, and the "MAXRCPT" option in the 'module.esmtp' file?

I thought "maxrcpts" controls the maximum number of smtp RCPT TO: recipients that courier will *accept* on an incoming message and MAXRCPT controls the maximum number of RCPT TO: recipients that courier will *send* on an outgoing message. But on further reading it looks like the sending side is actually set by the batchsize file. So what does MAXRCPT do? Or am I totally confused?

And will any of this control the TO: header in the message? I've got a guy who sends messages to a personal mailing list of hundreds of people, and if he forgets to use BCC, then you get a message with a huge TO: line. I was hoping to control this at the server. But upon reflection I'm assuming that none of these will actually rewrite the TO: header regardless of how many RCPT TO: commands it will issue per message.

Is there maybe a Thunderbird extension or something that will prompt you if you mail something to more than 'X' number of TO: or CC: recipients? (Yes, I know, the Thunderbird mailing list is down the hall, last door to the right.) :-)

TIA
