I've just tested, and it seems the Reply-To: field is used if present. So if you want to get the ripe-dbm to reply not only to you, but to your coworkers as well, simply send the mails using: Reply-To: you at w.ork.com, orkers at cow.ork.com > When the 'Cc:' address would be used too, there is no way for the > database to break the loop since the 'Cc:' address is set by the user > and can possibly contain the automatic mail address of the db and/or > a (local) alias to the db.
