	Do you just queue messages from source addresses, so that you 
don't generate more than one echo in a minute, or do you throw away 
every message from that source address which was generated less than 
one minute ago?

	Also, how do you handle echoes of echoes?  For example, if I 
forged e-mail as being from echo at psi.net and addressed that to 
echo at rohrbach.de (or whatever), would this generate an endless loop?

	What if I put "echo at psi.net,echo at psi.net" as the return address? 
Would you send back two copies?


	Just curious.  Thanks!
