Re: Preventing mail loops

has a solution to mail loops caused by the procmail example 'vacation'
recipe and another user running vacation or the same recipe.
user1 activates vacation like script
users2 activates vacation like script
user1 mails users2

Vacation mail usually has the header

Precedence: junk

and most auto-reply recipes have this in them

* ! ^FROM_DAEMON

which will fail to match "Precedence: junk" and so fall through.
