Hey there.. I had submitted myself to a relay check, and it passed fine, but
I keep getting checks from the company. So I went to their site, and read
their FAQ's, and they suggest that the mail server is looping..
Here is the section from the FAQ - their suggestion is pretty funny.
<FAQ>
"Our system dispatches a maximum of 21 messages to any one host. More copies
of any message indicates that you are experiencing some sort of mail loop.
We've discovered that testing with the @[127.0.0.1] domain seems to expose
some mail routing loops on some mail servers. This results in the server
sending itself the bounce messages over and over again.
If this is happening to you, please switch to a mail server that is well
written enough to have loop detection."
</FAQ>
Well I am still getting tested, and have received more than the allotted 21
emails. I have included a header of one of the messages below... I see
several references to my own server. Does that mean it is stuck in some kind
of loop? And if so - how to kill it? They also always seem to come in
spurts. As well. I'm not constantly getting them delivered. I just want to
be sure that there isn't a loop going on - so that when they reply I have a
little backup.
Thanks guys.
Dustin
