3) A machine running an older release of Sendmail, where the default
limit was 16 or so - for peered lists and lots of e-mail gateways
in the path, it can run out of 16 Received: lines *real* fast.  I
see one or two bounces a week on SAS-L that trip even if the site
has the limit upped to 25.  I currently set it to 30locally.
