Local delivery loop

Hi, I'm running qmail on Mandrake 8.2 and most functions seem to be working fine; remote mail delivery, local mail delivery, SMTP, POP3. The problem is that for every local mail message received (&quot;user@mydomain.com&quot;), it's first delivered to the local mail directory successfully but then another message shows up in the queue for &quot;msglog@mail.mydomain.com&quot;. Even though I've got an alias for &quot;msglog&quot; to &quot;user&quot;, that message bounces to itself (mslog) and starts a loop which creates many many messages from &quot;<>&quot; to &quot;msglog@mail.mydomain.com&quot;.

I've read through all the tutorials and help I can find and can't seem to figure this out. Any suggestions or pointers in any direction are much appreciated.

Another oddity is that when I do a &quot;status&quot; all my services seem to be up for a decent amound of time except &quot;qmail-send&quot; which only ever reads 1 second or 0. I've followed Life with qmail several times and can't seem to recitify that but mail delivery seems to work regardless with the exception of the &quot;msglog&quot; scenario described above.

Thanks

Joe
