My commendations to the support team of SuSE for clearing up the Mailing List. If it is true you run it on Microsoft, why? Why not use the SuSE Linux itself as your mailing list server? And to you crazy people who got all hot and bothered over the fairly small time duration (if you can even read this after unsubscribing), don't get so excited. To quote one person, SuSE personnel sleep too! If this had of gone on for days or weeks (i.e. a persistent problem), I would see your point. The period of probably about a day (or even less) is not something to worry about. Its just one of those glitches of the Internet that is bound to happen from time to time. ---------------------------------- Arlen Carlson adcarlso@visinet.ca What is worth doing is worth the trouble of asking somebody to do.

SuSE doesn't use Microsoft. The broken gateway at surf.be that was
ignoring return-path headers was using Microsoft. SuSE lists
run on SuSE Linux, afaik.
As an aside, to the SuSE folks, you really should use something like
Smartlist's X-Loop header. It helps avoid a LOT of problems.

Yes, of course ;-)

We do have a similar loop detection. But adding a X-Loop line or something similar to the header does only work as long as the headers remain intact. If a system generates completely new messages with completely new headers, there's now chance in automatically detecting this kind of loop. Parsing the mail body is very dangerous and can lead to lots of problems in other cases.

The SuSE people do use Linux and sendmail as there server. But the server that was bouncing the mail was a eXchange server. The mail was being sent to the SuSE list.

what I thought was annoying was when people complained about the spam and then unsubscribed to the mailing list instead of to the mailing server. These are the types of people who cause mailing loops. -- Andrew L.

Of course our mail server runs on S.u.S.E. Linux. But the misconfigured machine in Belgium uses MS.
