It'll normally be 138.23.92.77, assuming that the mail is sent directly from debbugs to the mailing list, and not via lists.donarmstrong.com as it is currently. [Obviously, that should be easily changeable if it's restricted like that, as it's not always going to be that machine.] > It's not terribly serious if a few messages go straight to the > mailing-list without being fed through > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Right. And in any event, debbugs does have reasonable loop handling, so most of these should be detected and discarded, *so long* as X-Loop: is kept intact when the messages are forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don Armstrong -- If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money it values more, it will lose that, too. -- W.
