Thanks Scott.  What exactly is a fake TLD?

I've looked up the IP (216.37.230.14) and it resolves to
svcr-216-37-230-14.dsl.svcr.epix.net.  I've tried searching the email
addresses for epix, but none of them have that domain.  Is there any way I
can figure out what e-mail address might be subscribed that is responsible
for this loop?

Replies are suppose to go to the list sender and not the list, so I don't
understand why this is going to the list, and then then list is setup not to
allow anyone but posters to post to the list, so I don't know why this is
happening.  First I want to stop it.  If anyone knows how I can stop this, I
would appreciate it.  I guess I will try IMail tech support tomorrow.
