Hello everyone, a rather unexpected thing happened the other day, someone subscribed to a list of ours with an address that uses an autoresponder, which of course creates a perpetual loop...he recieves a message from the list...autoresponds to the sender (list address)...recieves his own message and autoresponds again. I had thought that this was a very unlikely thing to happen...but its happened, luckily I caught the situation early, but even so, we still jammed 200 useless messages down everyones throat which caused a large number of unsubscriptions and complaints.
Does anyone have a good way of dealing with this problem....I know it will raise the usual furor about munging the reply-to header .... but forcing the reply to go to the sender and not to the list is an option that I already know...are there any more please?
All the best David Kelly
