This is an old question I have asked a zillion people, but have never
received a working answer.

I have a closed list. Only list members can post to it. Whenever someone
posts that is not authorized to do so, it generates a BOUNCE message.
However, instead of sending the bounce to the sender, it sends it back to
the list. Since the list itself is not authorize to send to itself, it
BOUNCES again. So on and so forth, till the email gets to be greater than
40k. Then a new series of messages. Result: Machine crawls and we get zombie
processes.

This must be so simple, how can I get the bounce message to go to the
sender, not to the list?

Please help a very frustrated sole.
