Hi. This is the qmail-send program at ns.cardinalservices.com.
I tried to deliver a bounce message to this address, but the bounce bounced!
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
209.192.74.2 failed after I sent the message.
Remote host said: 554 too many hops, this message is looping (#5.4.6)
--- Below this line is the original bounce.

It looks like its doing this for every mail that is being sent to any of our
users. I'm in dire need here. Please help me understand what I'm doing
wrong. Please reply to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] account.
Thanks,
