I'm always tempted by these to do the ol' port 25 mail with a "From:"
and "Reply-to:" pointing at the offender (catalog@uni.com in this case)
to see whether it would recognize that it was in an infinite loop.
I don't know whether its automatic response has CATALOG in subject and
body, but it seems worth a try. So far I've been able to restrain myself.
