Hi MJers,
	anybody else had this problem? I changed the "sender" field
in my <list>.config file to the list name - why - because in the
mailx program from HP-UX when wishing to reply to a post the "Reply-to" 
field is ignored and only the Sender field is used. 
However this started an endless loop which I didn't immediately find 
and almost brought down my system :-(    
My list allows only members to post, somebody else posted and
it got bounced for approval, and it was bounced to .... "Sender" which 
meant that the list got it again which meant it was bounced again to 
"Sender" ...  which meant .........

     Anyway around this?

     I'm using perl5.0, mj 1.93 on a HP-UX 9000.

     Cheers,
     andE
