Since then, an infinite loop bug has been found in Dada Bridge:

This bug was previously reported (and fixed) back in 2006 See: http://dadamailproject com/cgi-bin/dada/mail cgi/archive/dadadev/20060219171503/

This new one is a little different That initial problem was that if you set the list owner email address and the list email address the same, you'll create an infinite loop

This new problem is that if you simply set the List Name the same as your List Email, you'll cause an infinite loop, which is no good at all

I did put out three other new issues that relate to that very old problem you bring up now:

Dada Bridge: Ability to set List Email to a List Email used on a different list

https://github
com/justingit/dada-mail/issues/179

Dada Bridge: Ability to set List Email address to same address used for List Owner or List Admin address

https://github
com/justingit/dada-mail/issues/178

Dada Bridge: Ability to subscribe List Email to Subscription List

https://github
com/justingit/dada-mail/issues/177

Basically, there's some simple data verification that can be done to make sure all those different email addresses don't get mixed up in the mailing list (or between other mailing lists) and cause an infinite loop (or other weird things) that I have to put into the program
