A recent mail loop has given me a couple of questions:
1) Is there a good way to shut down a mail loop? If you know that any
mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] is looping, how to you stop
delivery from that domain or to that address?
The loop came about because the mailing list manager (mailmman,
www.list.org) sent mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], which bounced. The
bounce had an envelope sender of <> and a header sender of
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Qmail passed it along to mailman, which
failed to recognize it was a bounce, and which then sent a response back to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] which bounced, and so the saga went.
So, as a corollary, the next questions:
2) Is there any way to concoct a .qmail file that won't do final
delivery of bounces (i.e., anything with envelope sender set to <>) so that
I don't have to depend on the mailing list manager?
I realize ezmlm will probably do this better; we're using mailman
because of its web interface and I hope to rip the whole thing out and
replace it with newsgroups anyways.
