Show logs of this, or otherwise describe it in greater detail. Loops
take place when two hosts don't agree on whose responsibility it is to
do the final delivery of a message.

This must be:

* smtp:[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]

This address must also be enclosed in brackets.

Hint: You can use result_filter to avoid having to store the "smtp:" in
LDAP. Read ldap_table(5).

result_filter =3D smtp:%s
or
result_filter =3D smtp:[%s]
