Stripping received headers is an evil idea. It makes finding broken
mail hosts difficult and introduces the possibility of endless mail
loops. If the internet has really gotten so big that more than 20
hosts have to fondle a message, then the max hop count needs to be
raised. Meanwhile, I feel the correct solution is to find some way
to reduce the number of hops.
