the behaviour of MailScanner, you described is correct. Lets figure out why:

- even if the mail has 100 recipients on your server it will arrive as 
one single mail

- it is still one single mail when MailScanner checks it for viruses and 
Spam

- only for the local delivery the mail will be "copied" if it has more 
than on recipient.

Though, in my opinion it is impossible to have 2 or more different rules 
applied to one mail with several recipients.

Roland

P.S. Sorry for my bad englisch
