Murph asked about the loop on MINI-AIR: > What puzzles me is, if Marc is the only one empowered to distribute mail to > the list, then howcome the mail from the misconfigured daemon at Alaska.Edu > got posted? I can answer that. The rejection notice from Alaska included the From: line with the editor's address in its header. The KIDLINK list also got rejection notices from Alaska.edu Fortunately, in our case, the messages did not cause a loop--they were caught because "postmaster" is served out. I've attached the complete header below. Here are the key lines: > From: Odd de Presno <[log in to unmask]> > Subject: Hebrew on KIDLINK > Sender: Non-delivery Notification <[log in to unmask]> > To: "Org.To IMCC2" <[log in to unmask]> Odd de Presno is one of the editors of this list. We would have had an infinte loop if the "served-out" mechanism had not caught it. I also wrote to [log in to unmask] and have received no answer. I also found the error message itself somewhat less than perfectly clear: > [Non-Deliverable: Unable to create new message file IMCC2] Peace, Dan << Daniel D.
