<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Splitting mail is something you have to *do things* for it to happen. If you undo the changes you made to split the e-mails (how to do this depends on which MTA you're using, I'm assuming sendmail from the logs), you should be able to avoid
the problem.<u></u><u></u></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you know why splitting e-mails to multiple recipients was needed in the first place? Did whoever installed this prior to you taking over document it? The procedure is detailed here:<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">You can also try changing which method you use to process winmail.dat files, or not to process them at all. The risk is minimal. Check your mailscanner.conf settings, there is more information in the comments.<u></u><u></u></p>
