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.

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.
