Hi Abel,

>From your previous posting, I gather that the "problem" you are
experiencing is actually the direct result of your client's wishes. As
such, the toaster is working as designed, though perhaps not "desired".

I understand that the customer thinks this is annoying. I would agree.
He has created a kind of mailing loop.

I am sure that with the flexibility of the tools in Linux and Bill's
marvelous toaster, you could write some sort of script/program  to check
the subject/body of each message sent to each account to make sure that
no "extra" vacation announcements get through.

The performance of the toaster may suffer (with the extra handling of
each message), and the time you bill writing and debugging the "check
redundant announcement program" might be extensive. However your client
would be happy knowing he can set up as many forwards as he likes to
each of his many accounts. 

Otherwise, why not just create a rule in the mail client (Evolution, MS
Outlook, etc) to delete the offending announcements?

Hope this helps
Charles
