I don't have Majordomo 2 yet, but the only reliable way to do this is
to put your own system's name into the X-Loop: header, to make it
unique. Relying on something as generic as "X-Loop-Detect: 1" is asking
for trouble. If it had "X-Loop: Majordomo-myhostname.mydomain 1" then
you'd have better reason to question another host putting your host's
name and domain into their mail.
FYI, Procmail recommends putting X-Loop headers into automatic replies.
