[Erp5-users] Submiters sometimes getting a bounce mail

Hi.

It has been reported some times by people posting on that list receive a 
bounce about a "mail forwarding loop" preventing their message from being 
accepted on the list.

They can safely disregard this message, their mail correctly reached the 
mailing list.

Complete explanation:
It is caused by one of list subscribers which, when receiving a copy of that 
message (as sent by the mailing list server) bounces it to its "reply-to" 
address - which is the main ML address - instead of the "error-to" address - 
whjich is the proper bounce address. Hence, the mail reaches the list again, 
with preserved mail headers. This causes our mailserver to detect a possible 
mail forwarding loop, and it rejects the mail to its sender - which is the 
original submitter.
