Nothing specific but ... "50" is the magic number for members of a mail group, at which point a list is the solution. Are groups involved? "excessive recursion" sounds like an alias of an alias of alias loop where Imail cannot arrive at the canoncial (root) mail account. Ipswtich: can't you provide a complete list of all the log file messages, sorted by service type ?
