I've read the FAQ and three months of archives, and Jason
Tibbit's searchable index server is not responding, so here goes...

How do you stop an automatic reply program (like vacation on Unix)
from causing an infinite mailing loop? That is, a message goes out,
the auto-replier sends back to the list, which sends back to the
auto-reply,
which sends back to the list, ....

Does this have something to do the the reply-to setup?

I seem to recall some discussion of this earlier, but can't find it now
(of course)!

Thanks in advance,
j
