yes.

in Bugzilla/BugMail.pm, look for this line:


	foreach my $person ( @allEmail ) {

before it, add something like this:

	push @allEmail, 'your at email.address.com';

then, inside of the foreach loop (after all of the push() calls), add
this:

	push(@reasons, 'Default CC Recipient') if ($person eq
'your at email.address.com');

finally, look for this loop:

	foreach my $reason (@reasons) {	

and in that block of if()/elsif(), add one more line like:

	} elsif ($reason eq "Default CC Recipient") {
		$reasonbody .= "You are receiving this mail because you are the
default CC recipient";
	}

and that should do it.

here, I wrote a subscription functionality for bugzilla, where you can
subscribe to new/changed bugs on a per product/component basis, and
that's kind of how we integrated it into BugMail.pm.

note that this is from a forked BugMail.pm from approximately 8 months
ago; this module may totally have changed since then, so YMMV. also,
this won't work correctly if that email address you want everything sent
to is also in bugzilla currently (that email will always receive email
for the same reason that you defined before)..
