Okay, after further discussion and testing, it turns out that the LDAP
lookup is _not_ the culprit. Any suggestions as to where to look to
find something which could cause these symptoms?:
Multiple recipients result in the first listed recipient being properly
delivered, the others go into permanent loop with 'local_domains lookup
deferred' messages, even when there is no lookup for local_domains (I
replaced the lookup with a colon seperated list of the local domains
for the box.)
Thanx for any help,
Clint
