[cobalt-users] Majorodomo gone Mad - Mail Loop

["LinuxMan" <linuxman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On a RAQ 2, I had a Majordomo problem. One bad e-mail address kept bouncing
back to the list, and kept being re-sent out in a loop until all other
recipients mailboxes were full, thus causing an even worse loop.

The result was thousands of bad messages. How did this happen? I set the
sender to the email address anme of the list in the .conf file in the
/urs/local/majordomo/lists directory. I did that so when users reply, they
reply to the list. Obviously that was a bad idea.

Does anyone have any better ideas of settings to allow people to reply to
the list easier and not cause this problem?

Thanks in advance,
Fred
