Re: Mail Loop

["Matthew I. Cohen" <lists @ iwbyte . com>]

You need to look into the majordomo.cf file for

$global_taboo_headers = <<'END';

and a list of subject headers to look for to bounce email.  Find the 
string that your boss is using and set up a filter based on that 
string and you should be all set.
