Class UseHeaderRecipients

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.mailet.GenericMailet
      org.apache.james.transport.mailets.UseHeaderRecipients

All Implemented Interfaces:

Mailet, MailetConfig

public class UseHeaderRecipients
extends GenericMailet

Mailet designed to process the recipients from the mail headers rather than the recipients specified in the SMTP message header. This can be useful if your mail is redirected on-route by a mail server that substitutes a fixed recipient address for the original.

To use this, match against the redirection address using the RecipientIs matcher and set the mailet 'class' to UseHeaderRecipients. This will cause the email to be re-injected into the root process with the recipient substituted by all the recipients in the Mail-For, To and Cc headers of the message.
