Default Email failure report - Help please

Hi

I sent an email to someone yesterday and got the following delivery failure report

Unable to deliver message to the following recipients, because the message was forwarded more than the maximum allowed times. This could indicate a mail loop.

Whats it mean? I thought the address may be wrong but surely I would have got a report stating no address existed.

Any one know what it means?

Thanks

Sounds like a poorly set up mailserver, relaying to itself. Is it an Exchange server receiving by any chance?
