Some odd reasons, mailman went crazy today and sent out the digest repeatedly on one of the lists. I'm not whether it is a mail loop or just a bug in the system. Is there a way to set a timed delay between digests are sent?

- Get at least two different looped emails and figure out from the "Received:" headers where the loop is happening. Chances are it isn't Mailman.

Make sure you are running the most current version of mailman.
I've seen loop problems before when there is a problem on the server. The most notable cause is lack of disk space on a key volume, but it can also happen if your memory is stretched too far.
If you are running an earlier version of Mailman, then it might have been caused by a malformed (at least in Mailman's eyes) header on the message.
Can't be much help without specifics of: Mailman Version OS it is running on MTA and version Pertinent Log file entries from both your MTA and Mailman
In your case it might also help to see if anything cropped up in the Messages log file before or during the problem.
From past emails to the list, (and assuming you are up to date on your version of Mailman) I would guess that the problem is your system or its resources.
Good Luck!
