Environment

Novell GroupWise 8

Situation

The GWIA is not handling nicknamed address properly as a nickname loop can be created. An incoming message, for example, to x.y@novell.com with a nickname that resolves to x.y@novell.com and is supposed to route out the GWIA will just loop back into the GWIA.

Resolution

This has been reported to engineering and will be considered for a future release of GroupWise
