The problem is really pre MailWatch as has been discussed in previously.

I orginally did something similar - I split the recipients out into a
separate table and then iterated through them.
HOWEVER - the actual status of a message was still determined by the
first recipient in the envelope.
The minor hit I took by splitting recipients (I use Sendmail) was almost
completely mitigated by the SpamAssassin Cache.
This also allows a unique message ID for each individial message recipient.

Yep that would work but not as neat or traceable as the split envelope
method.
just my thoughts...
