OK, I found out that my problem is not a mail loop, but that when sending out digests, somehow sendmail fails, and cause Mailman to try to resend the digest forever. Mailman is 2.0.9, does anyone know how to get the version of sendmail?

Here's the excerpt from Mailman's error log:
Nov 08 13:20:05 2002 (21869) Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/HandlerAPI.py", line 82, in do_pipeline
func(mlist, msg, msgdata)
File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Sendmail.py", line 86, in process
fp.write(msgtext)
IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

I did a
mail -s "test" $(/home/mailman/bin/list_members -d <list>)
to send out a test msg to the digest members and that seem to be fine.

One potential problem is that for NORMAL posting, one of the list members' company recently mucked up their mail delivery and one would get this back when posting to the list:

I contacted them and they say they will look into the problem. However, can a normal user's email problem caused problems for digest mailing?

Thanks for any advice you may have
