More on this problem. Key is a sub-list that is Send= Editor,Hold. So, [log in to unmask] has [log in to unmask] as a subscriber. LIST2 is Send= Editor,Hold. [log in to unmask], the owner, sends a note to LIST1. This, in turn sends a note to LIST2. NOW THE PROBLEM!! Message is sent back to ****LIST1**** saying the the note for LIST2 has been forwarded to the moderator for approval. This note is from [log in to unmask], which is all powerful, so it is posted to LIST1 and then send to LIST2 and we have a loop. Seems like this moderator note should have gone back to [log in to unmask], not to LIST1. That would have avoided the problem. Can anyone think how to avoid this? I'm surprised I havne't been bitten by this before. Since we now have super lists, perhaps we should disallow lists being subscribed to other lists, at least on the same server. -- BE ALERT!!!!
