Postfix/spamassassin loop

Oops.

I'm a bit of a novice user and I'm setting up SA under Postfix for the 
first time.

Mail sent while SpamAssassin is running delivers fine, but anything 
inbound (or mail sent to a local address from a local IP) fails with a 
"max hops reached" error. It turns out Spamassassin is calling postfix's 
Sendmail bin, which calls spamassassin, and so on.

What should I be looking for here?

Cheers!

Had the same problem.  My error was using sendmail.sendmail and not 
sendmail.postfix.
Using sendmail.postfix solved the problem.  Check which version of 
"sendmail" you are using.
