Even hitting that question hard with google doesn't really help. You'd
think it would be in the sendmail FAQ as well.

My only other suggest other then be to inject something like

X-Loop: adsl@unixathome.org

with a check for this header before its injected, rejecting the email if it
exists. You'd do this before placing it in the majordom queue.

Possible with some procmail I suspect.
