1: never, as the original email has already been sent to the recipient by the
original server.
EXCEPTION: If the message was submitted to the listserver by another means -
for example webform/unix call, or via an authenticated session (where sender is
either authenticated by username/password or by a IP ACL) and the email
messages comes directly from a MUA (like Thunderbird or Microsoft Outlook),
then send it to the extra recipient, as you are in this case the first server
in chain and have responsibility to deliver it to the extra recipient.
EXCEPTION2: If the recipient and the mailing list is in the same domain (for
example firstname.lastn...@company.org and mailingl...@company.org ) or 2
domains for which the list server is both responsible for, then you also by
default take responsibility for delivering the email to the second recipient
(by default).
2: I would say, convert it to a CC. Then you avoid being classified by spam
because neither the list address nor the recipient of the email comes up as one
of the mail's recipients, which usually is a sign of spam.
