When sending emails I receive an error message 'Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete' Although i get this error message it does not seem to affect the process as the email gets sent and received by the recipient.

Why do i get this message and how can i resolve it/cause it to no longer appear.
