"What happened is your subscriber quoted a message previously posted to
your list and included the header lines."

"It's one of LISTSERV's methods for preventing mail loops.  There are broken
mail servers that return error messages to the list, instead of where they
should go.  If one of those messages gets through to the list, it is likely
to cause a loop"

Thanks,

already advised the list owner about including header info in the body of the
message.......

so this does turn out to be able to be used as a check for the looping DoS
attack.....

I think the subscribers can learn not to quote header text in their messages
rather than just shutting down Loop checking........ :-)
