We use qmail. Qmail inserts a "Delivered-to:" header during the local
delivery phase. LISTSERV doesn't strip this header when it forwards
the message to the editor. (This might depend on configuration.)
If the editor uses a mailer which doesn't strip this qmail header,
then qmail sees its own tracks in the message on the second pass,
and calls it a loop.
I know nothing about postfix, but it's possible it might use a similar
mechanism.
