RE: [vps-mail] Forwarding back to virtmap file

["Jim Smith" <maillists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure that I could even create a loop. The problem I've got now is
that the mail from maryjane@xxxxxxxxxx gets virtmap'd to user01, run through
the procmail rules and sent out as $LOGNAME@xxxxxxxxxx which in another
virtmap entry translates back from user01@xxxxxxxxxx to
maryjane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx which goes to their exchange server. However,
when procmail sends it back through the virtmap, it views it as a loop and
stops the process. No error message beyond, "This account is currently not
available." and no errors reflected in the log files. If I knew what was
cluing it in that it might be a loop, I could munge that line in the headers
when it goes through procmail but I'm stumped. Any suggestions on how to get
the mail to run through mapping twice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim Smith
