Back to my problems...

Seriously, don't do it. Rewriting the empty reverse-path to anything
non-empty means you are a danger to yourself and others. The empty
reverse-path is used on bounces for a *reason*.

I have been known to make a complaint to ISPs when I've seen systems
doing what you plan, asking them to be disconnected since they are a
denial of service attack waiting to happen.

If you really can't get the ISP to fix their broken server, then just
use a mail smarthost elsewhere. Or send mail *directly* perhaps?

If one were to set the envelope sender to a special address, e.g. [email protected], and carefully discard all mail to that address, would that not solve the loop issue? (by eliminating the risk of creating a mail loop).

Cheers, Chris.
