Do we think this is a bit of functionality that might be solved in the
elusive MailWatch 2.0 or is this issue rooted more deeply, e.g. at the
MS or PF layer? It seems to me that MailWatch could log the message as
separate rows in the DB per "known user", referencing the same
quarantine file. Just a thought. To bastardize this in to the current
system, I'd think about adding a separate routine that iterates
through the actual listed recipients, and adding the intended
recipient to a "deliver_this_copy_to" field (which would have to be
added).

Thanks, and many props to the folks at VMWare for the ease at which I
can rubber-stamp out a second copy of my environment. Now, if only I
had followed my own advice, I could have avoided 5 hours of queued
mail yesterday.  :-#
