Description

Much appreciate this program. I have inherited a server running POSTFIX. It is strictly acting as a mail relay, accepting email from our numerous servers and relaying directly into our MS 365 Exchange Online server. In order to get better insight, I have installed sendmailanalyzer and love being able to understand what servers are generating the most emails.

Running SendmailAnalyzer v9.4
Running Postfix 3.4.13

I am seeing a problem similar to issue #53 where the recipients are counted as x4 unless the email contained multiple recipients in which case the numbers seem correct.

Here is an example based on one of the top recipients:

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Research direction

No source file or test is identified. Reproduce the discrepancy with SendmailAnalyzer v9.4 and Postfix 3.4.13, comparing single- and multi-recipient messages with the example totals, and use issue #53 as prior context; done when the recipient counts match the source messages and report views.
