Explanation

When an administrator is listed as an approver on the same approval policy that governs an action they triggered, the system sends approval notifications back to them repeatedly. This creates a conflict because the submitter and approver are the same person - the system expects a separate approver to respond, but the only approver configured is the person who initiated the request. The solution is to ensure the requesting administrator is not also listed as an approver on that policy. SMTP errors (A) would prevent notifications entirely, not cause repetition. No Policy Engine (B) would mean no approval flow exists at all. Multiple approvers (D) would not cause repeated requests to the same administrator - it would just require one of the approvers to respond.
