Hi,

I have a mailloop problem and I think someone out there can point me in a direction to solve it.

We have sendmail configured to use maildrop as its local delivery agent. For every user I have a .mailfilter file that looks like this

SHELL=/bin/bash SENDMAIL="/ub/bin/sendmail -i -f this...@thisdomain.be" cc "!us...@otherdomain.be" to ./Maildir

this...@thisdomain.be is the actual user for which this script is generated (thisdomain.be is a real accessible domain)

Now when a mail arrives for this...@thisdomain.be, the above script is executed; the forward is tried and the mail is delivered; so far so good. Now us...@otherdomain.be doesn't exist (or the mailbox is full) , anyway an error is generated by the mailserver (for otherdomain.be) and the message returns to this...@thisdomain.be; again the filter is executed and there we go again.

Is there any provision is maildrop to prevent such loops or do I have to do it myself (adding extra headers and debugging alot). It doesn't seem like a problem that I have alone. Have I wrong configured something ?

thanks for any advice/tips/hints.

regards
