No, the second rule should ONLY process when a message passes the first
rule (and does NOT get bounced out to gmail.) I believe, please correct me
if I'm wrong here, but I believe the way you've rewritten it, rule 2 will
ALWAYS run, regardless of the outcome of rule 1. This will result in
duplicate message being sent to the second e-mail address.
