The following issue has been resolved as FIXED.

This should be fixed in CVS and 2.2.1 test build. The fix is a general fix to rely
upon the reverse path, and remove the use of the Return-Path header (except during
final local delivery).

Description:
Related email thread:
http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&msgNo=11183
Email lists managed by the current list mailets may cause a mail loop seriously
affecting all list members.
The reason is that the Return-Path header is not used according to its specification
and in addition it is used inconsistently. In some cases it is used to determine the
reverse path instead of using the reverse path stored along the email in the Mail
class.
The correct solution would be to eliminate the dependency on the Return-Path header.
E.g. it should not be used to determine the reverse path, the smtp server should not
add this header, but either LocalDelivery or a specific mailstore should.)
I have a quick workaround which prevents the mail loop in the first email, the source
code is in the first email of the above thread.
