fucking mail loop, pardon my french

[Brian Behlendorf <br...@hyperreal.org>]

Looks like some mailer out there has decided to bounce back mail
in a way which causes it to end up forging the message back to the
apache-announce list, with me in the From: header, which is the only check
majordomo does.  For the time being I've removed the alias, right now I'm
setting the moderation option in majordomo so only messages with a password
embedded in the headers will get passed along (sans password header).  

Funny, and I thought qmail was supposed to catch mail loops like this...

Well it catches them unless one of the parties in the loops happily
removes Received or Delivered-To lines... or, say, generates an entirely
new message.
