Mail to Jean-Michel_Dossogne@f7111.surf.be could not be delivered due to an error on their site. Their mailsystem is misconfigured and ignores the Return-Path which is to be used for error notifications. So the bounced mail did not go to the list maintainer, but to the list itself. And therefore it got sent to Jean-Michel_Dossogne@f7111.surf.be again and so on. A classic mail loop which happens on many mailing lists from time to time.
Yeppers! The only solution that I found to "skip" all those bounced messages is to go into netscapes Edit Mail Filters setup and create a filter to delete any message that contains "Bounced" in the subject line. Not a real good solution as it still takes up some bandwidth to download all that junk mail, but at least I don't have to manually delete them ;-0 -- cya l8r Leon McClatchey <A HREF="mailto:leonmcclatchey@homemail.com">mailto:leonmcclatchey@homemail.com</A> Party on Linux:-) -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
