AW: AW: [Mimedefang] Detect mail loops in mimedefang ?

[Florian Meister]

Thx for all the answers ... 

It seems that the forwarder inserts a return-path header, to which the mail is sent back which produces the looping. I'm going to correct this ....

I can't follow this.  Bounce messages are supposed to come from <> exactly to prevent this kind of looping.
