[Mailman-Users] mail loop!

[John W Baxter]

Step 1 could be:  pull the Ethernet connection out of the machine.  Brutal,
but effective...your digest recipients will probably appreciate it.

Then...since clearing (sendmail's??) mail queue doesn't get rid of the
problem, it must be mailman doing the repeated sending.  See what you can
figure out about mailman's queue.

You may find an ASCII NUL (C end of string) character someplace in
mid-digest...if so consider tr as a quick fix.
