And it is a *NASTY* thing when some dolt running the Outlook Virus
Dissemination Engine gets hit with a virus that picks to/from
addresses that are aliases for the same RT queue.  Imagine this:
49,000+ correspondences in less than a couple of hours...

The fixed loop detection has saved me this pain twice since that
