The suggestion and motivation is excellent, but there are nasty side effects in practice:
Including the Cc: field is a nice way to create mailloops.
When the 'Cc:' address would be used too, there is no way for the database to break the loop since the 'Cc:' address is set by the user and can possibly contain the automatic mail address of the db and/or a (local) alias to the db.
Hi, David! I think the database should send any outgoing mails with sender address <nobody@no.where.ripe.net> or similar nonexistent address. This would break any mailing loop. This is acceptable for humanoid recipients too because generally they don't want to reply the notifications and acknowledgements. Regards Gabor
