> email looping - autoresponders - how to stop it?
I don't know if Mailman has any capability in this area. You can push
things through procmail though and have it control the generation of the
automatic response. I have a non-Mailman email alias which I manage this
way. Its procmailrc file has a rule like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
MY_XLOOP="X-Loop: ${ALTFROM}"
FORMAIL=/usr/bin/formail
SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail
:0 Whc: reply.lock
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^$MY_XLOOP
| $FORMAIL -rD 65536 $HOME/.msg.cache
:0 ehc # if the name was not in the cache
| ($FORMAIL -rA"Precedence: junk" -A"$MY_XLOOP" ; \
cat .../auto-reply.txt) | $SENDMAIL -oi -t
A shell script in /etc/cron.weekly deletes the .msg.cache file, thus nobody
gets the auto-response more than once a week.
