It's not a very good idea to send notifications to the 'presumed'
originator. There are viruses that alter the sending address and there
are viruses that take two addresses from your AB, one to send to and
one to put in the from.
Sending automatic notifications often results in bouncing messages and
false alarms and the latter are harmful, you can cry wolf once to
often.
