I recently experienced a problem where due to a neighbor site doing
mailer reconfiguration, I got lots of extra traffic due to messages
bouncing back and forth, ending up with paths like 
sysa!sysb!sysa!sysb!sysa!sysb....   

I'm using smail 3.1.

How can I set it up to limit the number of bounces to something
reasonable?
