I happened to be online when a mail loop began.  Using (example) testlist, 
a bounce occurred to user todd@testdomain.com due to a full mailbox.  
Unfortunately, this user is also in the alias for testlist-owner, which the 
bounce goes to.  So it begins a mail loop.  

I have this sort of loop taken care of in the regular list, but am unsure 
where to start since this error message occurs before the regular (X-
BeenThere) Taboo header gets checked.  I'm not looking for some step by 
step explanation, just a pointer to the necessary files or documentation 
and a word or two about what theory I'm supposed to be using to prevent 
this.
