It's looping.  Do you have the loop detector disabled, it SHOULD usually
catch these.

Apparently, somebody at target-soft.com is doing something evil/stupid with the mail
and reposting it.  But wait....

Here's another loop - but THIS one was a gerstl-haustechnik.de recipient, but
it ended up at a fwd*.auk.t-online.de machine again...

If I didn't know better, I'd say you have 2 subscribers who are forwarding
their mail, and t-online.de is intercepting the forwarding and then botching
it.  The odd part is that in that failure mode, it *should* have gone
into Sorceror's Apprentice mode (both subscriber's forwarding should have
been trapped and sent back, causing 2 reposts, then both of those should have
generated 2 more, an those 4 should have....).   I'm really confused
why t-online.de did it 2 different times for 2 different subscribers.

This is just too bizarre for me to decypher at 2:30AM (and that's saying
a lot.. ;)
