This loop should not occur. Unless the owner address(es) for the site
(mailman) list bounce. Uncaught bounce notifications are send from
<sitelist>-owner with envelope from <sitelist>-owner. Thus, if the
list owner address bounces, and the bounce is uncaught, the new notice
will be sent to the owner of the site list, which should be
deliverable.
