Postfix & mail forwarding loop

[falko]

Is there maybe a forwarding from support to a10 and then from a10 to support?

PS: I would speak german, because my english is poor. Will it be accepted?

Please try to post in English so that everyone can participate.

The account a10 is made only for test, because this is the only computer which I don't change permanent. For this account doesn't exist any forwarding. For user "support" IMHO also. I have checked all database configuration files in /etc/postfix. /etc/aliases is also by default. In what files can this loop "be configured"?

[falko]

You can search for the string "support" in all the files on your system like this:

cd /
grep -R support *

Maybe you find the file where it is configured.

Unfortunately, there is one. And nobody can say where. Have you looked my log?

[falko]

Yes, I looked at your log.

Does the file .forward exist in the /home/support directory?

No, it doesn't.

Hey, I am facing the same problem with the mail forwarding loop. In my case the message is
The Postfix program

<user1@domain.com>: mail forwarding loop for user1@domain.com

The user1 has a .forward file in his home directory. Can this be a problem?
