You still need to stop at *some* hop-count. This approach stops

I'm quite well aware of that and think that such a protection is a good

Reason to have a hop limit is to prevent infinite loops where 2 email addresses
or servers point on each other.

Ours was set to 50 years ago, and we renamed our internal hops to
X-Received to avoid issues with external receivers with stricter limits.
The number of hops for most consumer mail isn't high, but enterprise
messages can have some really extended hops if it goes through nested
mailing lists and
