Thing is bugzilla is not forwarding emails.  Bugzilla appends as a
comment the body of the message.  Then it sends out a new notification
email to all the various subscribers of that bug, which includes the
originator.  And the originator was the pseudo-userid over
@bugs.debian.  So it wasn't a direct mail loop.
