Hi,

One of my 8.22 clients managed to create an alias that included to
recipients, one was the alias itself.

The result (at least with 8.22) is that any email sent to that alias will
generate a Q*.* file that steadily grows with recipient lines that keep
repeating over and over (I found 4 of them, 3 were .5 GB one was eve 1.5 GB)
and Queuemanager goes into 100% CPU.

It's obviously a user error - but an error by one of my domain "admins"
shouldn't be able to bring down the entire mail server.

Since 2006.2 is being tested - how about checking the size of non-LST Q
files and establishing a limit of 255 lines or something like that (as a
bonus it would be nice NOT append the same "recipient" line more than
once...)?

Best Regards
Andy Schmidt
