We too had a similar situation as described here. After examining the
headers, we determined that the recipient's mail server had auto reply on
and forwarded the "postings" back to majordomo as those it was another
posting. To: & From: looked like the original. We are using restrict_post.
To stop the "reposting", we used a line of our message_footer in the
taboo_body. It's been awhile but we have not had a problem since.
