Have you tried running an 'smtpctl trace expand' command to see where it might be looping?

Yes. No indication of looping in my logs when sending to or receiving from all of my mail domains, as well as using my Gmail account for testing.

I've had my current setup for over a year without any problem (first and only time I've seen this looping issue) and I receive about a hundred messages per day across all of my mail accounts.

It just seems like there was something in that spam email that triggered this issue. For reference, I posted that spam email, headers, and error messages in my original post.

At first I thought that my server was compromised. But after some more investigation, I don't think that is the case. Then I thought my configuration was the issue, but I don't see any problems with it at this point. Now it just seems like an anomaly.

In the "spam email" the "TO" header is "pachl <[email protected]>". I thought the display name "pachl" could be an issue because my UNIX account on the system is "pachl". I thought that maybe there was some looping occurring between the system and virtual aliases. But I'm guessing that shouldn't be a problem. I tried sending test emails using that exact display name and email address, but all mails deliver correctly and without error.

What else can I try or think about? Or should I just give up because it's just one email in thousands?

Thanks everyone.
Clint
