I had a College VP send out an email to three lists at once this morning (we have separate lists for faculty, staff and students). Of those, the 1st list got tagged with Ignoring message which would cause a loop (see log entries below).

while the other 2 lists went out fine. She then attempted the same message about 20 minutes later and the same thing happened.

I've scoured the logs, the messages and anything I can think of, nothing obvious jumped out at me. What causes this to occur, any tips on how I can debug this further would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris Peck
