Dear mouss,

Your guidance is right. Postfix automatically separates each recipient in header by
"maildrop_destination_recipient_limit" option. Because my Postfix can not authenticate the sender when sender is an alias, so I
change to use maildropfilter to fordward message at backend.

Please teach me if you have better solution to solve this problem.

**My scenario: group@ .. = {user1@ .., user2@.., user3@..}; group@, user@.. are virtual
users.

If sender = group@.. , request authenticated username&password to allow sending. else If recipient = group@.., then delivers message to user list {user1@..,
user2@.., user3@..}

#cat $HOME/group/Maildir/.forward user1@.. user2@.. user3@...

#cat /etc/maildroprc `test -f $HOME/$USER/Maildir/.forward` if ($RETURNCODE == 0) { str=`head -1 $HOME/$USER/Maildir/.forward` to "!$str" } else { to "$HOME/$USER/Maildir/" }

By using exclamation mark with "!" before list of user, I can deliver message to
all users in file. But this solution is suitable for any users, it can't solve if list contains
more user.

Thanks you very much.

Truong Tan Son.

But my target that is "How to extract user in a string=user1 user2 user3 ..." to
embed to loop.

There is difficult to extract each of user with pattern match result and
external script to embed.

I see absolutely no reason why one would want to "extract users". mail is delivered to a single mailbox (maildrop is not an MTA). What problem are you trying to solve? As Sam said, you should not use TO & CC headers for routing. if you play with these, you are going to break a whole lot of things (and possibly annoy a lot of of us).

when running maildrop, make sure it gets one recipient at a time. with postfix, use:

maildrop_destination_recipient_limit = 1
