Hi,

I try to use Mail::Box and I want to bounce some message from a Catchall MBox to original destination.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

use Mail::Box::Manager; # paquet libmail-box-perl

my $mailspool = "/var/spool/mail/catch-all";
my $mgr    = Mail::Box::Manager->new;
my $folder = $mgr->open(folder => $mailspool,
                        remove_when_empty => 0,)
                    or die ("Erreur d'ouverture de $mailspool :\n $!\n
+");
foreach my $msg ($folder->messages) { # all messages
   my $xoriginalto = $msg->study('X-Original-To');
   # bounce $msg
   #my $bounce = $msg->bounce(To => $xoriginalto);
   #$bounce->send;
}
$folder->close();
$mgr->closeAllFolders;

Before sending them, I have create user account. I use Postfix for MTA, with this particular parameter

luser_relay = catchall
local_recipient_maps =

The bounced emails with this script, go to /var/mail/nobody. The reason seem to be "Forwarding loop to <destination>".

When I bounce from a account to the same destination, it works. Only the script don't work and I don't know why.

Could you help me ?

Thanks
