The thing which actuates the replication is the "to" email address. So
we are pretty safe there. And I think the replicated messages are
separate communications, because they have a different To and From
compared to the original. If we want a postal analogy, there is a Royal
Mail service which allows you to email (ish) a letter to be printed out
and delivered in the next post. Some organisations use these pseudo-
telegrams to deliver a message in bulk because they look more impressive
on the doormat.
