Not really. All MTA have a MaxHopCount feature to prevent mail-looping due to misconfiguration. You won't appreciate it until you've have thousands of emails bouncing between 2 servers due to a misconfiguration. Your best bet is to up your MaxHopCount to some reasonably large number to cover your situation, eg: 100?
