Package: Postfix
Version: 2.3.6-2

postfix_groups.pl declares a 'indefinite loop' error when detecting a group 
more than once in a nested group DL. The group does not refer to itself, 
however.

Example of a nested group setup leading to the issue:

Worldwide-group

        Region1-group
                region1-group1
                        e-mail address
                        e-mail address
                region1-group2
                        e-mail address
                region1-groupn
                        .
                general-group
                        e-mail address
                        .
        Region2-group
                region2-group1
                region2-group2
            region2-groupn
                general-group


postfix_groups.pl will stop processing and declare the 'indefinite loop' based 
on running into 'general-group' twice.
But again, 'general-group' does not reference back to itself, so technically 
'general-group' is just an e-mail address being on the DL more than once. And 
should be treated like a duplicate address, rather than an 'indefinite loop'.
