You are correct, that is a theoretical possibility.
But depending on the routing of mail messages, I'm not sure that this
would be the case.
Even if it was, we would be talking about a loop of what flows through
Mailman. And unless I am mistaken, I think Mailman has another header,
"X-BeenThere:" to detect this very problem.
So, I think in reality things will be ok.
But this is still something to keep in mind and be mindful for in the
future.
