Sorry if this is OT, but it is a new on on me.

I sent two postings to the list at almost the same time, and which have
arrived at "abiword-user" as they have both appeared on the list. In fact, I
have received a reply to one of them from Dom.

However, this morning I have received two messages about the
postings:

Message failed - too many hops
From: VPOP3@pennmfg.com
 To: keith@keithg4jvx.force9.co.uk
 Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2001 17:14:04 -0500
 
The following message failed because there were too many hops (23)
Check for mail loops!

And so on.

What does it mean, "too many hops"?
Do I ignore these messages as my postings are OK and haven't failed?
If I don't ignore them, what do I do?

Again, sorry if this is OT.

Cheers

Keith
