Summary: Admin address over quota causes bounce loop

Initial Comment:
X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.9.cp1

Hi,

I'm not the administrator of the Mailman instance, 
just the poor sysadmin of a mail service who was 
woken in the middle of the night by our MX servers 
being severely overloaded by a mail loop.

One of our users hit their quota in Cyrus and hence 
their mail was bouncing.  This user is the admin for 
a Mailman list, and the list has been configured to 
forward all bounces to the admin.

The message was:

--===============2109117388==
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

As list administrator, your authorization is 
requested for the
following mailing list posting:

    List:    *****
    From:    *****
    Subject: *****
    Reason:  Message body is too big: 7519566 bytes 
with a limit of 40 KB

At your convenience, visit:

to approve or deny the request.


And above that stacks of:

--===============0756822160==
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

The attached message was received as a bounce, but 
either the bounce
format was not recognized, or no member addresses 
could be extracted
from it.  This mailing list has been configured to 
send all
unrecognized bounce messages to the list 
administrator(s).

For more information see:

I will point the owners of the offending bug at this 
thread so they can provide more specific information 
if they wish, without giving their privacy away.

Bron.
