Forward looping.

Postby Rafel Coyle » Fri Sep 29, 2006 11:58 am

I did find information about sxaa --info option. This was wrapped on the second page of my readme document.

Please comment on the second portion of the message where i repeat the contents below. If I set up forwarding rules as below, what will keep scalix from looping as these addresses will forward to each other. Sendmail resolves this with our getting into a circular loop, but can Scalix? In send mail if someone sends mail to mikeb it will go to mikeb and dale and as in the example below you can see that all mail routed to dale will also go to mikeb. This could result in an infinite loop, but Sendmail does not loop because it resolves all internal aliases before forwarding sending. Can Scalix do this.


mikeb; mikeb, troy, dale
dale: dale, mikeb, susan

sendmail was able to magacally resolve this issue prior to the final fowarding to eliminate circular references. Can sxadmin eliminate the possibility of this circular loop from occuring? If not we definitely want to use Scalix, but need to point to sendmail for aliasing purposes.
