I received a message frozen warning.
The following address(es) have yet to be delivered:
graeme.home@???:*Too many "Received" headers* - suspected mail loop
So I took it at face value, maybe I have a mail loop?
However, tracking the original message down, it was from IBM and contains e.g.
*29 matches for "Received" in buffer: 1670514307.H745399P3100673.ybox.xxx *
and they all appear legitimate** , it really did pass through 29 servers !
In the past (e.g. with ! style addressing) this used to happen, but less so with recent email.
So I guess the question is:
1:*Is there a tunable somewhere?*
2:*Is the current default reasonable?*
I can post the headers (or indeed the mail) but I'll need to redact a small bit as I suspect they've exposed a mail relay which was intended to be hidden.
