Eh? Recipients? In the FROM field?? That would be 'senders', and why would there be more than one in the 'From:' field? I'm guessing you meant 'TO:', 'CC:' and 'BCC:' fields? Making a separate connection for each in the TO/CC fields doesn't make sense, but maybe it does for the BCC field? > exceeds the max SMTP ip connections limit, the IP address will be > blocked and get a PB score (if enabled).
