how can I send just 1 message for 2 mail accounts under mail forwarding

Hi everyone

I have a question for mail forwarding.

I have 2 inbound mail servers,4 outbound servers and many store servers.

User A set his mail forwarding address to B, and B set his mail forwarding address to A.

So 2 guys can receive each others message.

In this case, If two users have same "mailhost' value(ex, x.test.com), forwarding mail goes just once for each accounts.

If "mailhost' values , however, are different (ex, x.test.com and y.test.com - and also two mail servers connected as internal server),

forwarding mail goes 4 times for each accounts.

So sender gets 4 messages and receiver gets 5 messages.

How can I set mail server configuration to send just once not 4 times for 2 users?

Any advices would be welcomed.

Thanks

You have just created a mail loop. This is not a good thing.

I would advise creating a mailing list which has both userA and userB as members, and then have emails sent to that address OR have a third account which they can both access (IMAP shared folders) and have email sent to that OR have them share each-others INBOX.

The fact that userA & B didn't get multiple copies when they were on the same mailhost is due to good luck only.
