I am writing a recipe to forward mail to another account. Virtually

Reviewing the recipe, it really looks to me that the real work is being
done by the X-Loop: header being added. My question is, are the
FROM_DAEMON (and FROM_MAILER) conditionals really necessary?
A mailer daemon is more likely to completely encapsulate your message
(so the X-Loop is quoted in the body). Also, often, you don't want to
FORWARD bounce messages - esp. if they're bounces of your forwarding
attempts.
Good point. I didn't think of that.
The reason why I ask is that I have seen some emails not get forwarded
(namely from google itself, but they weren't in a loop) and I want to
make
Well, check the logs and determine WHY those individual messages were
not forwarded. Were they possibly filtered PRIOR to the forwarding
recipe?
I started off doing that, but the regular expression is just too hard.
Perhaps one of you can tell me where it hit??? (I snipped the expansion
of the FROM_DAEMON line).
