Subject: majordomo and vacation

I hope this is the right forum for posing this question.

One of the members on a majordomo list that we run went on vacation for
a week. He truned on his vacation message and apparently had the ruleset
incorrectly to reply to all. This was, I believe a Novell (Groupwise ??)
set-up. In any case when someone posted a message to the group it got a
mail loop going with this guy's vacation message being sent to everyone
hundreds of time. 

What puzzles me is that the From says owner-acemg@blahblahblah and the
/etc/aliases has the list admin guy as owner-acemg. None of the "From"
"From:" addressess explicitly say acemg they all say owner-acemg etc.
Is it possible that when someone has reply to all set that it replies to
the To: as well as the CC: addresses.  If so other than setting up the
list as moderated is there a easy fix. Perhaps its our acemg.config file
which needs working. 

Any suggestions/tips are welcome
thanks
