Are you seeing this "aliasing/forwarding loop" thing in conjunction with
any other kind of bounce?  Can you send a message from somewhere to
pgsql-admin-owner and pgsql-admin-owner+M284 and actually see it forwarded
properly?

How are you actually seeing this bounce?  If it was a problem local to you,
you wouldn't get it at the list owner address.  You might get it at your
postmaster address.

My best guess is that those messages are coming from the remote end and are
due to some serious misconfiguration there.  If you can get messages to
your list owner then I'd say your site is OK.
