Thanks for fixing the list, Hubert. I will just point out in passing that we list users often compound the problem by using the list to ask/complain about the loop; every message gets sent to the problem address(es), which in turn send noise back to the list and so on. Perhaps as much as 250f the noise was the result of users acknowledging and/or inquiring/bitching about the loop. While I'm glad that the reply-to header is changed (I think this will go a long way to solving the whole problem), I can't get too irritated with the list maintainers; it's not easy being on-call 24/7, and my house certainly has enough glass in it to make stone-throwing risky. We users need to figure it out and not contribute to the problem. Opinions expressed are mine only, phil (donning his asbestos union suit) -- Don't have awk? Use this simple sh emulation: #!/bin/sh echo 'Awk bailing out!' exit 2 - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
