That's your problem. having a pop user and an autoresponder set up
for the same email address wasn't the design idea.
It's autoresponder OR pop account.

You'll have a loop here. You are sending the email through the
autoresponder, and sending a copy to the autoresponder. So each
time an email goes into the autoresponder, you'll "auto responde it"
plus send an email back into the autoresponder. Endless loop.
