Hi David, you wrote:

I got them, too. Actually there was a mail loop at easynet, shown by
the Received: headers, which hit the hop limit on the 5th turn.

I got some of the 385 messages that piled up over Easter once as the
original from the mailing list, a second directly sent from easynet,
then up to 4 looped copies, and finally the error message, for a
annoying total of up to 6 (!) useless mails per original!
