1st of all, about half of the message length you sent was entirely unnecessary.
There was a huge amount of blank space at the end, plus the body of the
message, which we don't need. In fact, the entire thing looked like a spam
message.
All you needed to post was your recipe and I could tell what was wrong (I
think).
:0c
* ! ^X-forwarded-to: saroff(_at_)vs\(_dot_)lmco\(_dot_)com
{
:0fhw
| formail -I"X-forwarded-to: saroff(_at_)vs(_dot_)lmco(_dot_)com"
:0
!saroff(_at_)vs(_dot_)lmco(_dot_)com
}
This should prevent all mail loops from this forwarding recipe.
Note: I think (although I am not 100% sure) that putting the standard
'duplicate-check'
:0wh: .idfile.lock
| formail -D 81920 .procmail.idfile
at the top would also help, but this is only a backup.
