To fix this problem, change your mail forwarding so that all mail messages, no matter what address they are sent to, have a final destination. The mail would never have a final delivery location. Mail sent to Coffee would go to Tea instead, but when Tea got it, it would send it right back to Coffee. If you set mail forwarding on Coffee to forward mail to Tea, and set forwarding on Tea to forward mail to Coffee, you create a mail forwarding loop. If you forward your email from one computer to another, it is possible to set up the forwarding in such a way that there is no final destination for your email messages.įor example, suppose you have accounts on two computers named Coffee and Tea.

However, if you receive many copies of every email message, a forwarding loop may be the cause of this as well. Most often, a mail forwarding loop prevents you from receiving any mail, causing mail sent to you to bounce back to the sender.
