Is there any way to prevent the bounces from going back to the originator. I participate in over a dozen mailing lists, including those using listserv, listproc, and majordomo software. I am constantly getting bounced mail/error messages coming back to me of mail I have initiated, but didn't make it to a particular subscriber on the list. Is there some series of settings that can minimize these problems. I surely don't want my subscribers on a new list I am setting up to start complaining about this problem. >Bouncing e-mail sometimes starts e-mail loops when they are >generated back to the list. Could you define what a e-mail loop is and the worst case scenario for such a problem. Also, is there a way to prevent e-mail loops from occuring in the first place, other than staying on top of bounced mail problems. Barry
