I have somehow encountered a mail loop.  The same message keeps getting sent
over and over.  I've tried everything to stop it.  I've tried putting the ip
addresses in the no access file etc.  Well here's the log file generated.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is forwarded to another mail server
mailworks1.networkscom.com, I also set a rule to have this message go to the
virus box, but because this account is forwarded I had to use the".," to
even get the rule to work, now the imail server sends a copy to the virus
box and forwards it to it's destination.  The imail server is
mail1.eonbusiness.com  Please HELP

Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Alias for a Mail Host


Jamees,

As Shaun pointed out, the issues are not just internal to Imail but also in 
DNS.

For every possible recipient host or domain after the @, you need to have 
an MX for reliable delivery, and you can't actually have "too many", so 
here one of yr pb's:

# dig netmajik.com mx
; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> netmajik.com mx
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:
;;      netmajik.com, type = MX, class = IN

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
netmajik.com.           1H IN SOA       ns1.netmajik.com. 
administrator.netmajik.com. (
                                         14              ; serial
                                         1H              ; refresh
                                         10M             ; retry
                                         1D              ; expiry
                                         1H )            ; minimum

which is an error good, just fix the above like this one:

# dig ns1.netmajik.com mx

; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> ns1.netmajik.com mx
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1
;; QUERY SECTION:
;;      ns1.netmajik.com, type = MX, class = IN

;; ANSWER SECTION:
ns1.netmajik.com.       1H IN MX        10 ns1.netmajik.com.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns1.netmajik.com.       1H IN A         64.50.158.132

The above error also listed DNS Expert report, sent privately.
