I've just been bitten by a "vacation" autoresponder setting up a loop with a mailman list I just started up. 5000 messages were sent to the members of the list before it was caught. This is not the first time that I've seen a massive loop response to an email listserver at our institution, (where many users use Groupwise). A few months ago we had a similar problem with a Majordomo list and the Groupwise "vacation" feature.
I removed the offending member name, but now there appears to be a loop between the Groupwise server and the list-request address. Why do I not see more of this on other lists that I participate in? I manage the Xforms list, using Majordomo. I've never seen such a loop on Xforms. What is happening that makes lists here at USU so problematic when the "reply ot all members" feature is enabled? How do listservers in general deal with "vacation" autoresponder loops?
