Ladies and gentlemn, I'd like to ask about a little problem quite curious.

This is the situation: 2 local users (user1 and user2) are exchanging mail with an external user (user3); each one using their own local account. The local users has also Gmail accounts and send mail through these accounts (again, each user using their one). By the way, to do this, they use the Gmail webpage.

So, some days ago user3 sent me a mail (as I'm the postmaster of the domain) telling me he received a big amount of copies of the same mail user1 and user2 sent to him. It was like these 2 mails user1 and user2 sent to him "became" many more (note: user1 and user2 sent different mails, not the same one). user3 told me he received about 80 copies of each one.

I'm trying to figure out the source of the problem. What is driving me mad is that these mails was not sent through the local SMTP (Postfix 2.3.8 running in a Debian Etch box), nor an external SMTP. It was sent through the Gmail webpage.

Both users has a .forward file in their homedir and mail is being forwarded to the Gmail account.

Ok... that's all.

Suggestions?!

Greetings.
