[Dovecot] Forwarding loop
I used to filter my mail through gmail with the following sieve rule.
if not header :contains "X-Forwarded-To" "bmihulka@hulkster.net"{ redirect "bmihulka@gmail.com"; }
With the gmail account set to forward to bmihulka@hulkster.net
After upgrading to dovecot 1.2.9 and postfix 2.7.0 from whatever was with debian etch. I get a forwarding loop error. I don't know if this is a dovecot issue or postfix issue so I'm starting here. If anyone has any ideas or a better place to ask about this please let me know.
Thanks Brian Mihulka
Just a shot in the dark, but perhaps something changed in your gmail filtering rules?

This has happened to some of my users before. For some unknown reason, the "Resend a copy of the incoming e-mail" [1] gets activated every now and then, and this is the mail reason for my "Mail forwarding loop" issues.
HTH
[1] Or something like that, I use gmail in spanish

Brian, I have endured problems like that before. Without more specific information, all answers would be at most guesswork. To debug the problem, post the output of "postconf -n" and the log entries pertaining to the message that was creating the forwarding loop.
Exacting how is the mail being delivered to your mail server anyway?
