I just poured another cup of coffee and went to another computer to work for awhile on another project. I also looked over the posts and noted the pattern and the occasional slightly different post. My novice explanation is that the auto functioning mailer "demon" locked horns with something like one of those auto "out of the office" programs and they just kept bouncing off each other like the images between two facing mirrors or a ball in a pong game if gets into a straight 90 degree bounce. It could go on forever or until the size/capacity limits are reached somewhere.
