Thank you for the effort. Unfortunately I get the same result as
before. The notice.pl script goes into a loop and the incoming file
is never delivered to DEFAULT. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

My result to date is that the notice.pl script is properly executed
but the delivery agent goes into a loop and doesn't deliver to
DEFAULT.
Yea, the braces following your _delivery thru pipe_ to the notice
script is invalid. Plus, assuming you did believe that it nested
that way (which it doesn't), checking for the x-loop again would
have been redundant, since the OUTER conditions would have mandated
that it not be set.
While the above script should do what you want it to, you should
note that you actually have to set the X-Loop in order to expect to
look for it - if you never set X-Loop (which are primarily
applicable to autoreplies and forwards), checking for it just eats
cycles.
Now, what precisely does this have to do with "loop difficulty",
which would imply that you're having looping problems, not simple
delivery construct issues?

Please DO NOT carbon me on list replies. I'll get my copy from the list.
