Recipient List

Since: Version 2025.12.02-67ee9e96

The functionality described in this section requires version 2025.12.02-67ee9e96 of KumoMTA, or a more recent version.

If the message is part of an SMTP batch with more than a single recipient then this method can return an array style table holding one EnvelopeAddress for each recipient.

If you'd rather always deal with a list of recipients, even if there is just a single recipient, then you can use message:recipient_list.
