Someone else had a similar problem a while ago... so some archive-searching is in your future. Don't recall the solution, but you may want to locate all .forward files on the server and read through them; see if one of them has anything "funny" in it.

Don't ask me why I recommend this; I don't know. Pure intuition. And yes, this suggestion may be worth exactly what you just paid for it, but then again that's the same as the price for admission to this group but certainly less expensive than the time taken to try to help. So, no complaints allowed. <grin>
