Hello,

I have a working setup with a dedicated MX inbound which deliver via transport 
to a postfix / dovecot backend server.
I found some mail, probably with forged "Delivered-To" header that make the 
backend bounce with "mail forwarding loop"

Here is the log of the backend  :

I found 5 similar mail in my logs. Each mail is sent from a different IP but 
each time the first part of sender email is the same as recipient 
(from=<accu...@mtnl.net.in> to  <accu...@mydomain.com> in my exemple).
I don't know if that matters, but I smell like Spam although Amavis says it's 
clean

I think I'm in the case discuss here :

Do you think I can be a backscatter source ?
Your advices are greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Alexandre
