[rt-users] notification

So here is the code that I am working with inside my template: 
Script: 
Condition: On Create 
Action: Notify Other Recipients 
Template: My Notify 
Stage: TransactionBatch 

'My Notify' code 
------------------------------------------- 
{ 
my $trans = $self->TransactionObj; 
my $ticket = $self->TicketObj; 
my $cf = new RT::CustomField($RT::SystemUser); 
$cf->LoadByName(Queue => $ticket->QueueObj->id,Name => "Building"); 
return 0 unless $cf->id; 
my $cfvalue = $ticket->FirstCustomFieldValue('Building'); 

my $to_address = ""; 

if ($cfvalue =~ /Sheldon/) { 
$to_address = "sheldonhd"; 
} 
elsif ($cfvalue =~ /North/) { 
$to_address = "northhd"; 
} 
elsif ($cfvalue =~ /South/) { 
$to_address = "southhd"; 
} 
elsif ($cfvalue =~ /Churchill/) { 
$to_address = "churchillhd"; 
} 
elsif ($cfvalue =~ /Kennedy/) { 
$to_address = "kennedyhd"; 
} 
elsif ($cfvalue =~ /Kelly/) { 
$to_address = "kellyhd"; 
} 
elsif ($cfvalue =~ /Computer/) { 
$to_address = "engle"; 
else { 
$to_address= "rubble"; 
} 
return 1; 
} 


To: {$to_address}@4j.lane.edu"} 
Subject: New Ticket #{ $Ticket->Id() } has been created 

Time to go to work 
---------------------------------- 

In my debug log, I am not even seeing the script being called that contains this template. If I strip everything above the 'To:' field, the scrip and template gets called but the e-mail is not sent even when I hard code the e-mail address.

I'm perfectly able to write the scrip and template in question, but 
since Kurt has a half-working template I was curious what *he* was 
doing. Involving a CustomField seems like a bit of overkill.
