[Mailman-Users] Loop with spoof

Dear Mailmaners,
I recently found a loop when (I think) someone sent an email with a spoofed
from/reply-to address.
This appeared to be achieved by sending email to somelist at somedomain from
somelist-bounces at somedomain.
We are using Postfix, and have the following Mailman aliases and virtual
addresses set up:
Aliases:
somelist-bounces: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces somelist"
Virtual:
somelist-bounces at somedomain somelist-bounces
In the end I turned off 'Send mail to poster when their posting is held for
approval' and deleted the offending files from the
/usr/local/mailman/qfiles/out directory.
My questions are:
1. Is this loop an error in my configuration or a bug or oversight in mailman?
2. Is there a way of getting a list of messages in transit and if necessary
deleting them. This mail had not yet arrived at the pending requests stage.
Cheers
