Let's see: if a message matches the criteria, mail a copy back to your
account again and then save a copy to your mailspool.  The copy then
comes in and does the same thing all over again.  Eventually, enough
Received: lines are added to the message that sendmail decides it's
gone on too far and bounces it.  The bounce message has a different
subject, so it doesn't loop.

Why again are you having it forward the message back to you?
