We've seen **address loop** where a user's addressbook entry points to
the same address; for example, where [email-masked] is a systemwide
sendmail alias and the user defines an addressbook entry foo for foo
(so the nickname and the real address are identical).  User's purpose
of doing this is to gather all used addresses into the addressbook,
even where the real address is memorable and the user doesn't want to
set a different nickname.  The interesting thing is that it works most
of the time and just occasionally gets a **address loop** bounce.
