There was a similar problem with an X-DEL originating at AWIIMC11. Obviously
the DIST2 job was appended to itself somewhere - well, you can imagine the
n-plication of this request.
I didn't pay attention to the fact that this error was accompanied by "a loop
has been detected in your Job" messages which get sent to the postmaster of
the originating server. Dunno where the user sent the request to. The nearest
server is at RICEVM1.
The job is never re-sent to the originating server and probably not to all
LISTSERVs if the appending doesn't take place before any fanning is done.
