I don't know why it's being forwarded to itself but it is, somehow. Two
things: You don't need to vadduser, you can create .qmail-testgroup in the
domain directory. You can also supply the full path to [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s
maildir instead of a forwarder, which may prevent any loops from happening.
Could you post the headers of one of the later messages? Perhaps the
Delivered-To or Received: headers could provide some information.

I don't have ezmlm installed, & I didn't really think it was
worthwhile for 6 users or so.
