I've been seeing more and more of these -- and the %MAKE_TEXT[5] ones
too. I think it's spammer users who don't know how to use their
new complicated filter-evasion templates ;)

Or someone is on a mailing list like this one. The message goes out
of your site and then comes back in again. I deployed that rule to a
large group without realizing the above mailing list problem and it
created a large number of false positives.

I would personally block messages that are a loop from me to me. I don't
foresee any real reason to have this loop enabled. On my mail server
this probably blocks 10% at the mail server.
