You can automatically notify users, or groups of users, when tickets are filed in specified categories, such as hardware, software, or networking. To do this, add email addresses to the CC List value of each ticket category.
Configuring the CC List values of ticket categories is useful if you want to notify users, or groups of users, when tickets are filed in categories that interest them. For example, you could add all of your system administrators to the CC List of the Network category to ensure that they are notified of networking issues as they arise.
If you have multiple queues, you configure the ticket category CC List values for each queue separately.

You can enable Service Desk to automatically add email addresses to the CC List field of tickets whenever those addresses appear in the To and Cc fields of tickets submitted or updated through email.
When this setting is enabled, any email addresses in the To and Cc fields are automatically added to ticket CC List fields unless those addresses are specified in the System Email Exclusion List. See Exclude addresses from ticket CC List fields.

Configure the email exclusion list to prevent Service Desk from automatically adding unwanted email addresses to ticket CC List fields. See Exclude addresses from ticket CC List fields.
Service Desk can automatically add email addresses to ticket CC List fields when tickets are submitted or updated through email. However, some addresses, such as distribution lists and general company email addresses, should not be added automatically because they increase unnecessary email traffic. To prevent Service Desk from adding unwanted email addresses, you can specify the email addresses you want to exclude.
NOTE: The email addresses associated with Service Desk queues are never automatically added to ticket CC List fields, because sending messages to these addresses could result in new tickets being opened inadvertently. You do not need to add these addresses to the exclusion list. |

When tickets are submitted or updated through email, Service Desk sends ticket notifications to respective parties. However, if one or more users who receive such email reply with an automated Out of Office response, Service Desk reacts with another ticket update and yet another email notification, potentially causing an infinite email loop.
