Sorry to bother everyone with the same old looping problem, but I've
researched everything I can and can't figure out what's going on.

This is a new server that I'm setting up with IMS. It's the case where the
username is valid and the domain name is valid, but not together. On the old
server they would bounce to Postmaster with a "User not known", but on the
new server they just keep going round and round between Prein and Incoming.

I know it's something I've set up wrong, but can't figure out what it is. 

The other problem is that when a bounce is generated for a bad email, it
appears the email is put in Incoming rather than Prein so the user name is
never run through Plugin1. That causes another bounce message to be
generated from the first bounced message. Here's a sample - erin is a valid
user, but because it didn't go through Plugin1, it wasn't aliased.

I probably should install the new version of SMTPRcv, right? That would take
care of the looping anyway.
