Thanks Steve - don't want to mention any names but it sounds something like
list caster. For those interested what happened was we sent a message to the
list and as expected some mailboxes didn't exist any more (which is quite
normal) so the receiving sever sent a message back to our list. Our list
server didn't know what to do with them so it sent them back to the sever
from whence they came and vice versa. Fortunately it wasn't an infinite loop
but it then proceeded to e-mail all the error messages to everyone on the
list. An issue aside - we had great difficulty with the interfaces for this
product - for example some fields and boxes were below the bottom of the
screen and we couldn't scroll down to them, we had to tab to expose them
which I think is very poor design.
Our ISP gives us access to major-domo via Major Cool which is quite good but
we can't administer all aspects of the list and have to rely on ISP support
for some of them - simple things such as changing the intro message for
example.
Thanks again for the advice Steve.

CF is the wrong tool for a mailing list. Sure you can do it, and yes you can
use Excel spreadsheets as a database instead of SQL but would you want to?
Figure out why your NT mailing product filed and get a better one. BTW,
which one was such a nightmare for you.

We've had a lot of dramas recently with an NT based list server and I've
effectively told our networking guys to forget it (you don't want to hear
the horror stories - it sounds something like a DOS attack). I've gone back
to our ISP temporarily but want to consider CF options - I'd be grateful if
you could let me look at your templates as well Paul.
