I think I'm still (or again) getting duplicate messages.

Is there a new instance of the problem, or am I just getting some
previously-queued duplicates?

Can't the mailing list software detect a loop by adding a list-specific

I've seen something like "mail-loop" or "list-loop" on some mailing lists
I get.
