Any progress on this? I ran into a similar situation a while ago when my server was trying to deliver a message to an address whose MX record resolved to 0.0.0.0.
Why is it that qmail or postfix doesn't detect and stop this (from the Delivered-To headers)?
I'd rather not add loop-detection code until we're doing the sending too...
I don't think there is any "Delivered-To" header yet, because the message never gets delivered -- it's just repeatedly relayed (from the server to itself). The hostname in the address is not in rcpthosts or locals, so there's no delivery.
Without qpsmptd, this would be stopped by the loop-detection code in qmail-smtpd, which is based on counting the "Received" headers. If qpsmtpd is supposed to be a replacement, it should do that function of qmail-smtpd.
