I made it on 6-25 to test your post of 6-25.
I made my "smiley" template to send me a smiley face when
someone emails me. Since in my experiment, that someone is me,
it sends me a smiley which my email interprets as "to" me and
therefore sends me a smiley in response. That response
generates another response, and so forth. I stopped it after
50 iterations in 3 minutes.
FWIW, it would've been better to test with two different accounts. If
only one autoresponds, you don't get an endless loop.
I had created at work an auto-forward of every mail i received on work
sent to my private mailbox at home.
Unfortunately i had done a mistake in the forwarded adress, so the mail
server responded "mailbox [email protected] did not exist".
Mail that i forwarded :-) endless loop. i had positionned this
auto-forward friday afternoon, just before leaving for the week-end.
During the week-end, i got a mail at work, et bingo .... the loop
begin.... due to the fact that i had protected by a password the
auto-forwarding, the responsible at work was obliged to STOP the mail
server for all the compagny. Monday morning ... i stopped this war .....
I had received 5000 mails in my mail box :-)
