Hi all,

we need to do something about the number of emails sent out by
Invenio. Here is the email I read this morning.

Benoit.

Subject: Bouncing ADS email
To: bthiell@cfa

Hi Benoit,

I just discovered a huge - almost 350MB - mail spool file belonging to
you that contained 23252 email messages that appear to be duplicates
of an email sent via the ADS service (via machine
adsate.cfa.harvard.edu) from bthiell@cfa to bthiell@cfa. I have not
been able to figure out what is causing the duplications, but they
were happening at the rate of about 500 per hour!

[...]

It looks like the mail should have been from you to the ads service,
but somehow got your address for both to and from.  The mail starts
like this:
