I guess we have two primaries, really. The first level of machines are
running Sun iPlanet messaging server. All email to my domain goes their
first (mailin.xxx.xxx), once these servers see that the email is intended
for one of my domains the server passes it on to the primary for that domain
(dialog.corp.xxx.xxx). The primary and backup for my domain are running
postifx.

I can't really tell which machines the mail appears to be looping between.
All I can see in the log file is what's below, and this message repeats 13
times. It doesn't even appear to be looping, it just appears to be sending
the email 13 times...
