This is not a bug.
What you are talking about is a powerful feature which should be used wisely.
For power-users, say.
No-one suggested using a template in such a way as is being discussed here.
There are all sorts of foolish things a user can do on their computer.
Anyway, (to acknowledge an earlier response to this thread), creating 400
different email addresses is creating a problem. So, you look outside for
solution to the problem that you created. Maybe scrapping the idea and
rethinking how you want to achieve your goal is needed?
