He *did* mention the pros and cons as his previous mail mentions. I did not include it. Because the lists in question are local and controllable, I decided to go ahead. But judging from the flames and negative responses I am tempted to remove the LOOPCHECK flag. I had assumed that so long as the headers were left undisturbed, the body of the mail can contain any text and the LISTSERVER *will not* analyse/process it. But it does and if somebody can explain why it is checking the body. Below is an an example that (I think) is a perfectly valid mail and yet it is rejected by the LISTSERVER. I am relatively new and don't the reasons about the creation of the LOOPCHECK as you experts and old timers do. I do not want to screw the network. But please do educate me onto why there can be loops if the text is in the body. Or is there an alternate solutions from the Listserver side (as opposed to user/Microsoft side of the problem cause it ain't easy). Thanks again ...
