Hi,

We're currently in the process of parsing postfix logs into something
that is suitable for end users. After covering lots of basic errors, we
are working through some edge cases. Since we use customer provided data
for relaying mail, there is a possibility that something gets
mis-configured and we get 'too many hops' and related issues.

However, it seems that the error message is only sent in the smtp dialog
(554 5.4.0 Error: too many hops), postfix logging does not show
anything. All I get in non-verbose logging is:

Sep 18 12:38:58 test postfix-inbound/smtpd[29852]: connect from
localhost[127.0.0.1]
Sep 18 12:39:05 test postfix-inbound/smtpd[29852]: 3hzHmT118bz317f:
client=localhost[127.0.0.1]
Sep 18 12:39:17 test postfix-inbound/smtpd[29852]: disconnect from
localhost[127.0.0.1]

Is there a way to detect a 'too many hops' issue from the logging,
preferably without changing postfix verbosity?

Kind regards,
        Tom
