Hello List! 

I'm running the whole courier suit, my users can use sqwebmail to setup 
filter recipes, and I got a very nasty mail loop when I configured a filter 
like this: 

Mailbox A send a copy of each message to mailbox B, but B was 
invalid/unreachable (bad mx register), so each time A got a message, it was 
copied to B, but the copy failed and bounced back to A, and then maildrop 
copied the bounce to B and the bounce bounced and so on.... In a matter of 
minutes mailbox A got overquota and thousands of failed delivery messages 
were sent to postmaster after that...  and the mail queue got full with 
thousands more! 

I tried with an intentional loop (A copy to B and B copy to A) and it works 
the same! a total denial of service! 

Is there a way to avoid this ? I'm really worried that my users begin to 
setup mail loops un/intentionally with sqwebmail! 

This might not be a bug, but surely is a very nasty feature!
Is there something that can be done? 

Thanks for your help!
