    This happened on SL4.org, which also runs off the same mailserver. I made
    a change to majordomo that I think fixed the problem on SL4 (it caught a
    repeating message and bounced it).

    On SL4, I added the taboo header:

    taboo_headers << END
    /majordom set sender to owner-sl4/i
    END
