No.  Such loops are impossible to detect before they happen.  All you can
do is fix the damage once they occour by:

* Set up a taboo_header or taboo_body that filters on something unique that
  occours in the looping message.  This will prevent loops originating at a
  particular site from continuing.

* Remove any and all reply_to mailboxes.  This will prevent 99% of all mail
  loops before they start.
