What Kyle said, doubly so if members of your mailing list are being
passed through mailers that lose the message envelope.  We (bionet)
just had the rather embarrassing situation where one of our
JANET distribution nodes was doing just what you want, and we ended up
in a mailer loop.

Furthermore, if you modify the default behavior of a mailer, you will
end up with people sending public messages that should have been
private.
