[Mailman-Users] Mail Forwarding Loop / List issue

I have set up a test list on a new server with a few
subscribers.  All seems to be working well, however
when I check the "Administrative Requests" on the
mailing list, I am receiving the following for a range
of messages:

---Quote---
Return-Path: <>
X-Original-To: thetestlist at loosehome.info
Delivered-To: thetestlist at loosehome.info
Received: by mail.loosehome.info (Postfix)
        id 44536813A1; Mon, 23 Jan 2006 18:44:26 +0000
(GMT)
Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2006 18:44:26 +0000 (GMT)
From: MAILER-DAEMON at loosehome.info (Mail Delivery
System)
Subject: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender
To: thetestlist at loosehome.info
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/report;
report-type=delivery-status;
       
boundary="36C13813C2.1138041866/mail.loosehome.info"
Message-Id:

This is the Postfix program at host
mail.loosehome.info.

I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message
could not be
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached
below.

For further assistance, please send mail to
<postmaster>

If you do so, please include this problem report. You
can
delete your own text from the attached returned
message.

                        The Postfix program

<thetestlist at loosehome.info>: mail forwarding loop for
    thetestlist at loosehome.info
---EndQuote---

These messages appear in the administrator section
because mailer-daemon is not a member of the list, and
so the attempt to access the list by the mailer-daemon
is flagged up for admin attention.

So, question to the helpful: How can I avoid this mail
forwarding loop?

Please note that the error occurs on a range of
addresses, including an account on the local machine. 
I don't think there are any genuine forwarding loops
going on... why should there be?

On a different topic, I originally signed up to this
using my own server (on a fixed, domestic IP).  Mails
were thrown out ostensibly because of the IP address. 
Is this normal practise?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Jon
