Hi,

i have a little question...
Maybe someone can help me?

My System:

Debian 3.0
MailScanner 4.24-5 with Postfix
SpamAssassin 2.60
Clamav 0.60


I use MailScanner with RBL- and Spamassassin Checks.
For Example sometimes I receive a Spammessage from: lrs at ezbizz.com.

This Message is trapped by Spamassassin and found in some RBL-Databases.
MailScanner bounce back the Message to sender with a Spamreport.

Then the Sender also bounces the Message back to me with this Message:

This is an autoresponder. I'll never see your message.


Now, there is the Problem......

The Incoming Bouncemessage (from sender lrs at ezbizz.com) also found in some
RBL-Databases. MailScanner now bounce back the Bouncemessage with a
Spamreport. Then the Sender repeatly send a bouncemessage...

=> Endless Mailloop

In this case i sometimes have over 5000 Mails in my Inbox...

The only way to stop the Mailloop I found yet is to add:

From:   @ezbizz.com  delete

in HighScoring Spam Actions...

This is the fourth time i receive this Type of Messages (different
senders).

Is there to a way to check for a Mailloop in Mailscanner or Postfix?


Thanks for Help


Holger
