Dear Mr. Iqbal,

It is a horrible idea to not use the "precedence: bulk" header
in mail generated by a program. It can trigger many problems
(read system DoS) from other auto-responders such as vacation
and other filters. I think that qmail supports "+" addressing
so what about having qmail strip the "precedence: bulk" header
when a message is sent to xxx+notb...@yyy. Then you could at
least avoid putting such behavior in RT proper. Having been
witness to such changes in the past and the inevitable fallout
and needed reparation, I would discourage this change. Another
option would be to use a group in RT and cc it. I think there
is a recipe for that in the wiki.

Regards and good luck.
Ken
