Looks like a mail loop :=(

Check your rewrite file

 k8rra@*   k8rra

rule missing somewhere at the beginning of that file?

  I'm feeling pretty unobservant and dumb over this - but I could use a little kind help...

  I have made some change to configuration that has screwed up SMTP mail delivery and don't see the reason for my problem.
  The change happened between the 4th and 24th of this month.
  As I review the present config files used against paper copies from earlier I do not see my error.
  And no - I don't have an earlier "checkpoint" configuration to revert to to start over with my changes (that is coming soon).

  Consider the following excerpt from mail.log - all was well for job 116 and before.
  Job 119 looks good - but that mail killed JNOS2.0d with a run-away SMTP that has now cycled up to job 75565.
  If SMTP is allowed to run it maxes out CPU and freezes the JNOS console terminal display - it requires a "kill" to stop the process.

  The only piece of humor I see in this is that we spent 9 wonderful days at sea shortly after the 4th to deliver a sailboat from the Caribbean to Hampton Roads in the Chesapeake Bay and it is clear I need "retraining" after the trip...

  What SMTP seems to be doing is "forwarding" k8rra mail from mqueue back into mqueue rather than delivering it to mail.
  I have not "start forward" services, and it beats me how I requested SMTP to forward k8rra mail to anywhere...
  The following is an excerpt from the 3+ MB file that has become the mail message...
