Re: Forwarding to Perl file list

I had asked Eric,

you're

H> Nope.

OK.

T> What happens, Eric, if you replace the perl recipe with just this,

T>  :0a
T>  ! `cat /path/file_of_addresses.txt`

H> The same thing happens (multiple forwards), of each of the two

But both addresses receive it.  With the perl command you said that only
the first address receives it.

I think we do have a loop here: somehow it is coming back to the address
that runs the recipe.  Sean Straw's advice to make the Old-Postmark: line
do double duty as a loop detector was very good:

  :0fhw
  * ^TOwhatever(_at_)it\(_dot_)was
  * ! ^Old-Postmark:
  | formail -R 'From ' Old-Postmark:
   :0a
   ! `cat /path/file_of_addresses.txt`

Please try that and let us know what happens.
