I got that loop message from a pointer to a non-existent account on the
server even though it was in the DNS to go to the pointed to IP....if the
email is to a pointer that does not resolve to a place on the server, then
that message is sent....I added an account for the pointer with the same ip
as the pointed to domain and the pico'd the conf file to change the
DocumentRoot to go to the right site number and those messages went away....
