List Flag: loop-detect Causes distributed items (submissions to lists and digests) to have an additional header added called "X-Loop-Detect:" which contains the hostname of the machine running listmanager and the name of the mailing list to which the item was distributed. Listmanager watches for this header and, if it is discovered, assumes that the submission has somehow been addressed back to the list and discards it to prevent the same posting from being sent to the list repeatedly.
