That has already been implemented, and indeed it will be in the next
version.

We're talking about a total of maybe another 100k of data in an active
user's mailbox. If you have 10,000 users, it will add up to a whole
gigabyte :-)

That's a problem with the receiving mail system, not with LISTSERV. The
17 hop limit dates back to the early 80s. The users who are impacted will
complain to their local system administrators, who are the people with
the ability to change this setting.
Let's face it, there will always be people who use 10 year old hardware
or software, but you can't hold progress because of them.
