You say "sometimes" they loop.  Can you see what will or will not loop?  Is it 
something in the message or from a certain address?  If you can isolate why the 
"sometimes" it might help you find the why.

Subject: [qmailtoaster] Problem with backup Toaster

> OK... so maybe I'm just too smart for myself...
> 
> I've got several toaster's installed around my area (on managed Linux 
> servers). I setup MY main toaster to be a backup mail server for all of 
> my other managed servers, then use one of my client's systems (with 
> their permission, of course) as a backup to my own server.
> 
> To accomplish this, I setup the DNS to resolve MX records as such:
>   @  MX  10 mail.domain.com.
>   @  MX  20 mail2.backupdomain.com.
> 
> Then, in the "backup" toaster I make 2 manual entries:
>  a) I add the domain that is being backed up to the 
> /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts file, and
>  b) I add an entry in /var/qmail/control/smtproutes to FORCE the 
> backed-up domain to deliver to the main mail server.
> 
> Now here's my problem:
>   - my backup toasters are sometimes "looping" messages, which results 
> in a failure message being sent back to the sender.
> 
> Anyone got any suggestions? Did I miss something??
> 
> Thanks in advance!
