[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-576?page=comments#action_12423069 ] Noel J. Bergman commented on JAMES-576: ---------------------------------------
The correct behavior is not defined by MIME specs. Server behavior would be defined by RFC 2821, with the behavior controlled by the RCPT command. RFC 2821 refers to accumulating a buffer of addresses, but does not say anything about merging (or not) duplicates. Some mail servers provide the ability to "ignore" duplicate RCPT addresses. > Mails with Duplicate Mail Address in To / CC > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: JAMES-576 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-576 > Project: James > Issue Type: Test > Components: SMTPServer > Affects Versions: 2.2.0 > Environment: Windows XP Professional > James 2.2.0 > JDK 1.4.2_08 > Reporter: Govind Kumar > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.2.0 > > > In case a mail's TO and / or CC address contains duplicates of same mail ids > like > To : [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] > CC : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > , James sends multiple copies of the same mail to the same addresse.
