No. You have to turn on administrivia and hack "resend" (or set taboo_headers
if you're running 1.94) to watch for messages that "look like" loops but of
course there's no way to tell what a loop is going to look like. If you don't
want the mail loops that come from pointing replies back to the list, don't
point replies back to the list -- unless a list's subscribers are unusually
dim they should be able to figure out how to reply back to the list without it.
(This question really belonged on majordomo-users . . . )
