I eventually (after a few hundred MB of email, which the client paid for in their data traffic charges) figured out that the original sender sent an email to a local alias, the local alias expanded and got delivered to our server, then the exchange server retrieved the email and didn't know who the To: address was, so it re-sent the email to the To: address, which was an alias on someone else's server, which expanded the alias...

I'd suggest a very large hammer aimed at the exchange box, or the admin of said exchange box ;-) -- Joel Michael| Phone: +61 7 3367 3555 Systems Administrator | Fax: +61 7 3367 3544 WorldHosting.org Pty.
