Do not send emails to 'smtp_from'

[anonymous]

As discussed on irc earlier today, it could be a good idea to ignore notifications to smtp_from.

There should be an option in trac.ini :

do_not_notify_smtp_from = 1 # or 1 

If it is 1, any notification going to the address specified in smtp_from should be dropped.

This would help with mailing loops some users have been experiencing but does not prevent users having problems because of changed functionality.

I've not followed the discussion, but do you mean that you use a real user name as the sender of a Trac email?

This means that Trac impersonates the real user, or is there another use case for this option?

I think Trac has already to many options to deal with (so many) SMTP environments. I'd rather see a dedicated SMTP relay with proper settings rather than re-implementing even more SMTP features inside Trac.

I agree with eblot, and there were not better suggestions for 14 months. Closing as wontfix.
