Yes.  John Beck explained it to me.  Our sendmails are configured to
bounce mail after 25 hops (to avoid forwarding loops).  Well, the way we
have the opensolaris-arc list set up leads to a lot of forwarding (first
inside Sun, then out to opensolaris.org, then back inside Sun).  We've
apparently been operating near 25 hops for awhile.  Internal mail issues
can push us over the edge.

John has asked Sun ITOps to raise the limit to 30 hops.  I don't know if
they've done it yet.  And of course this begs the question of whether we
can streamline the opensolaris-arc email setup.
