You are infinitely reflecting FreeBSD hackers list articles.

Please fix your gateway:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to correctly configure a list exploder or a mail/news gateway:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


>From list to be gated		From local posting to local list alias
	|				|
	v				v

	o <-----------------------------o

	|				|
	v				v
To local distribution		To list to be gated

ie, for a list exploder/repeater, an alias file like:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
freebsd-hackers-in:	freebsd-users
freebsd-hackers:	freebsd-users freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org
freebsd-users:		localuser1 localuser2 localuser3
-------------------------------------------------------------------

And then subscribe freebsd-hackers-in@gateway to the freebsd-hackers
list on freebsd.org.

This will prevent messages coming from hackers@freebsd.org being
sent *back* to hackers@freebsd.org, and spamming the list.
