Email loops existed, and could even recur, but they are, essentially, a configuration error. I am not convinced that there is an encyclopaedic subject here though. The encyclopaedic subject is presumably email, or mail servers. What is on this page is almost entirely unsourced. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 18:08, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect to Infinite loop#Multi-party loops, where email loops are discussed. This is an encyclopedic topic (see discussion in Clayton, Bronstein et al., Kosachev and Nemati, and this CBS News article) but the article fails the WP:NOT test of WP:GNG by violating WP:NOORIGINALRESEARCH and WP:NOTHOWTO. I suggest we WP:TNT this article, redirecting it as noted above until it can be rewritten to address the problems. Dclemens1971 (talk) 03:19, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I confirm I would be content with that. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 06:50, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
