Summary
This article describes how email messages are sent depending on the delimited used in an email address list.
Scenario
A document has an email delivery. The email recipient list is derived from a data source.The data source returns one or more rows where multiple, delimited email addresses are returned per row. When a row returns multiple, delimited addresses, how the addresses are handled depends on the delimiter used.
Semi-colon
The data source returns a row containing the following:
bryan@infoburst.net;john@infoburst.net
This will result in two separate email messages, one addressed to bryan@infoburst.net and one addressed to john@infoburst.net.
Comma
The data source returns a row containing the following:
bryan@infoburst.net,john@infoburst.net
This will result in one email message addressed TO bryan@infoburst.net,john@infoburst.net.
Email Grouping
By default, if a burst produces multiple email messages for a single email recipient, those messages will be grouped into one message. If an email message from one delivery is addressed to bryan@infoburst.net and another is addressed to bryan@infoburst.net,john@infoburst.net, then these messages will not be grouped as the second recipient is bryan@infoburst.net,john@infoburst.net.
