I've been using quite an old version of xmail (1.25) quite successfully
for a couple of years on a Synology server.
It's been very reliable, but I get the odd message which sticks in the
spool with the following error:
>ErrCode = -163
>ErrString = Mail loop detected
>Message blocked by mail loop check !
>SMTP-Error = "554 Message blocked by mail loop check"
The thing is that I can't see why a mail loop has occurred as it was
simply an incoming message to me.
So my two questions are, can anyone explain why these messages get stuck
when many other messages from the same senders get through?
Secondly, is there any way to get these messages out of the spool? Simply
resubmitting the email (using PHPXmail) doesn't help as the message
simply gets marked with the same error again and stays in the spool.
Below is the header from one of the problem emails. Just to explain, my
..com domain is the address of my server, whereas the .co.uk domain is
handled by my ISP who scan the email for spam, then forward it to my .com
address.
