ah ha!  :)  this would explain why: grep 'is looping' /var/log/qmail/current
bore no fruit :)

s/\s+/_/g;

sigh.  after resolving the PEBKAC error, I do see the entries in my logs.


since we're on the topic of guaranteed bouncing (since the Delivered-To:
header can still easily be forged), is it worth investing some crypto into
it ?  or even appending some Site-Unique level string to the end of
Delivered-To like the domain name --

instead of: Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
it'd be: Delivered-To-nntx.net: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

or some such.  Whatever the annex is, it'd have to be static (at the
site/domain level), because many people use the Delivered-To header for
processing via procmail/etc.

Forging the Delivered-To line could be to Mr. Spammer's advantage, because
he could send millions+ of messages to addresses that use vpopmail, and
could depend on the bouncing to deliver his mail;  just spoof the envelope
recipient/from and wala.
