If you can cause the envelope-from-address in redistributed messages to
be the address of the list maintainer at hanauma, you'll both stop the
loops and direct redistribution problem reports back to somebody who can
fix them.  Not knowing anything about your redistribution mechanism,
it's hard to say how you'd accomplish this--perhaps the ``-r'' option in
sendmail?

By ``envelope-from-address'' I mean, in SMTP, the argument of the MAIL
FROM: command.  Without SMTP, you may wind up having to put this
information in the Sender: field or (heaven forbid, for UCB sendmail) an
Errors-to: field.
