            Bug ID: 2264
           Summary: DNS lookups should not chase CNAME loops
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.91

Per the discussion starting
https://lists.dns-oarc.net/pipermail/dns-operations/2018-April/017449.html
we should trust that the resolver is doing the right thing, following CNAME
chains itself - meaning that a CNAME return from a CNAME lookup will always
be an infinite loop and should be treated as NODATA.  The limited loop we
have can be removed so we do not hammer the resolver.
