I would be led to believe by the man page that qmail-smtpd does:
NAME
qmail-smtpd - receive mail via SMTP
SYNOPSIS
qmail-smtpd
DESCRIPTION
qmail-smtpd receives mail messages via the Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and invokes qmail-queue to
deposit them into the outgoing queue. qmail-smtpd must be
supplied several environment variables; see tcp-envi-
ron(5).
qmail-smtpd is responsible for counting hops. It rejects
any message with 100 or more Received or Delivered-To
header fields.
Maybe this is what he is referring to. Maybe he wants to increase
the number 100 to some higher value. Looking in qmail-smtpd.c I see:
#define MAXHOPS 100
Which suggests to me a place to apply the hack.
Now if he was referring to multiple local delivery attempts, then no,
there is no counting going on.
