No Scanning if one is in To

[Gene LeDuc]

I think that your problem boils down to the fact that only 1 message is being 
delivered to your server and processed by MS.  MS gets a rules match and 
doesn't scan it.  Your MTA then gets it back and delivers it to multiple 
recipients.

MS is not processing 2 messages, just 1 with 2 recipients.

In order to get around this behavior, MS would have to generate a new message 
for each of the other recipients and then scan them and put them into the MTA 
queue.  I think that having MS create new messages like this might open a 
brand new Can 'O Worms.
