Re: Failed Mail Folder

Hello Steve,

Thank you for posting in the SBS newsgroup.

According to your description, I understand that you encountered the email
will be put in the Failed Mail Folder, if the email with "undisclosed
recipients" in the "To" box. If I have misunderstood your concern, please
don't hesitate to let me know.

Are you using a global POP3 mailbox or individual user POP3 mailboxes?

Is the sender trying to hide e-mail addresses of intended recipients? Does
he/she only put recipients in the BCC: field?

Please note that the POP3 connector does not support delivery of messages
to recipients that are specified in the Bcc field of an e-mail message.
