Mail only sent to the first recipient

[garfunkel]

It seems FreeNAS's MTA is only sending mail to the first recipient listed when using sendmail (symlinked to /usr/sbin/mailwrapper). The same issue affects mail/mailx commands.

On a fully up-to-date 9.3.1 installation, I run this:

Code:

echo "test" | mail -s "test" example1@domain.com,example2@domain.com

Only the first address is ever sent mail. I've tried the same command on Arch (using the same SMTP settings) and it works fine there.

As stated above, constructing the message with sendmail also fails.

Is this a bug, or is this some sort of rather goofy intended behaviour?

Your syntax is incorrect; separate recipient addresses with a space instead of a comma:

Example:

echo "test" | mail -s "test" example1@domain.com example2@domain.com

I don't think that's correct either. When I do that, the second address simply gets BCC'd instead.

Just did the command to three e-mail accounts and each got them directly.

Just for giggles, I enclosed each address in single quotes as well. Again each got the e-mail correctly..
echo "test" | mail -s "test" 'example1@domain.com' 'example2@domain.com'

:( This most certainly doesn't work for me. I also tried the single quotes as you suggested, when doing that the first email address given receives a BCC, whereas the second receives the email directly

Any other suggestions? - this is really weird.

If it matters, I'm using my Google Apps gmail for SMTP, but as stated up above, it works fine on my normal Linux machines using sendmail.

Hmm, not sure then. My SMTP is Exchange (hosted via Office 365). Maybe others may have some input regarding Google.
