My system is not quite usual; my messages recipient address domain is not
the same than my computer domain. I use a mail forwarding service, so my
mails (to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) goes first to iki.fi. From there they are
forwarded a server on a company I work for. I download them from there by
fetchmail. The recipient address is lost and I get it by searching
"received for" headres on the mail... quite complicated and seems like it
cannot be made foolproof :-(

So when the messages are feed back to postfix on my computer, they will be
delivered again to iki.fi, where they start another round...

Some mails cause problems: if a mail is sent to me and one or more
recipients in iki.fi, the recipient address is not available. 

I have not tried, but I quess that if there is an alias extracting to
several email addresses, the second round would go to all of them. 

I mean, if there is a following line on /etc/aliases
group_a : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think an email sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] would go to both user1 and user2
at the second round. Not sure, thought...
