I'm running into a problem with kmail and forwarding.
It appears that when I forward messages to a mailing list that I'm
also on, I get a bounce back due to a mail forwarding loop.
When I check my Sent folder, it appears that kmail is sometimes
creating a message and adding all of the headers from the message
to be forwarded into the current message, e.g., the Delivered-To:
header.
I believe when postfix sees a Delivered-To: with the same address
as the current recipient is decides that there is a loop and bounces
it.
Here's a sample of the headers I found for one of the messages in my
Sent folder. The original message was delivered to me at 10:42.
At 14:43 I forwarded the message to a mailing list I'm on
(alist@xxxxxxxxxxxx):
