Hello -
We currently use the Postini filtering service.

If a user has requested to use the service, we alias the email address so it forwards to postini servers.

For example
virtual_alias_maps
---------
daviddomain.com davidpostini.domain.com

host -t mx postini.domain.com resolves to 4 postini MX's.

That works fine.

I tried to get rid of the alias_maps and just change to per-user transports

transport_maps
daviddomain.com smtp:postini.domain.com

Postini accepts it, but bounces it saying 554 Too many hops.

Any idea what is going on? I setup a test to forward the email to another server here, and it shows the correct number of Hops (source, our mail server, transport)

Why is it too many hops?

Thanks
