My new list is now over 140 subscribers and I arrived this morning to a list 

deluged with bounced e-mail messages and to many rather irritated
subscribers.

Late Friday, someone subscribed to the list with a bad e-mail address.  An
"infinite loop" of e-mail messages were delivered to the list; a bounced 
mail
from the bad address was resent to the list .. so on and so forth.

Can someone provide a simple procedure (I am neither a UNIX, perl or
mail server guru) on how to redirect all bounced e-mail messages away
from the list and send them directly to me as the list-owner?

My list alias:

     {list_name}: "|/news/majordomo/wrapper resend -p bulk \
                  -M 10000 -R -l {list_name} -f {list_name}-owner \
                                              -h scopus.com -s 
{list_name}-outgoing"

     {list_name}-outgoing: :include:/news/majordomo/lists/{list_name}

Thanks!
