An E-Mail Loop is an infinite loop phenonemon created by mail servers, scripts, or mail reading programs generating automatic replies or responses, to which each automatic response generates another automatic response and so on. The process can continue until one mailbox is full or reaches its mail sending limit. In some cases, the E-Mail loop could last an infinite duration. Mail loops can be accidentally caused, or caused intentionally (these are known as mallicious attacks.) E-Mail loops are not as common today as in the past, due to software changes that prevent automatic replies to vacation responses and bounced mail responses.
