That'll do it.

Yes.

No, if an article originally posted to A, then transferred to B,
were to arrive back at A, then it would be rejected and not stored
(your script would have discarded it).  Since it was not stored,
B would not see that article from A again, and so neither would A.
There would be 1 rejection, so you waste the transfer of 1 article
only.
