Hi, I believe this is not an issues with my ISPConfig/postfix setup however I'd like to confirm. Most email sends normally however one person using my server talks with several people in the Netherlands (We are in Canada). Depending on the domain the email is sent to either the message is received or does the 'too many hops' message. The header below is for a 'too many hops' message: Code: The original message was received at Fri, 26 Sep 2008 18:26:23 +0200 from [195.121.247.250] ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <[email protected]> (reason: 554 5.4.6 Too many hops) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 554 5.4.6 Too many hops 26 (25 max): from < [email protected]> via localhost, to <[email protected]> Reporting-MTA: dns;

It appears to bounce around and finally get rejected by psmtp15.wxs.nl. I have confirmed my DNS has no errors or cautions (DNSReport.com). Does this seem reasonable. This is probably just a minor configuration problem on the remote server. Thanks for any assistance. Cheers
I guess that there is a misconfiguration on one of the remote servers on the way of the recipient that forwards the email in some kind of loop until one of the servers stops the loop and informs the sender. I dont think that there is a misconfiguration on your server.
