I see from your message headers, the first two things you need to do immediately
are;
Add "Tmajordom" on a line by itself to the Trusted Users section of sendmail.cf
and fix your lim: alias to include ",nobody" after lims-outgoing. Your list is
being exposed by your headers. If someone wrote directly to lims-outgoing@lims...
the message would go to all your subscribers unchecked by resend. Example;
lims: "|/path-to/majordomo/wrapper resend -l lims lims-outgoing,nobody"
Now about your loop. This is how I do it. In lims.config;
message_headers << END
X-Mailing-List: $LIST
END
taboo_headers << END
/^X-Mailing-List: /
/^Sender: owner-/
END
#The X-Mailing-List: header is added the first time a message comes through.
#The Sender: header is also added to every message majordomo sends, and I do not
#want my lists to be recipients of themselves or other lists.
If you really want to prevent loops, never set "reply_to = $list"! Not that
you did, but this reply is going to all the majordomo-users.

PS. Just for the record, your sendmail is 8.10.0.beta6 :)
