Hmm, sounds like connections point to each other.
Check your mail topology.

How is delivery of those people which are malfunctioning ? Is there
a scheme (all on the same server, all remote, e.g.) ?

The problem people probably have a forwarding address pointing back to
their mail file, which puts it into an infinite loop. If you can get
a copt of one of those messages it will tell you the servers it routed
through, it the only server is their mail server, that's most likely
your problem
