qpsmtpd doesn't do forwarding between addresses, so doesn't need to
address this issue.
You may be right about purely local forwarding, but what about the second
case, where a remote server is involved. What should be detecting the loops,
if qpsmtpd isn't? I think that since qmail-smtpd does loop detection (look
for "hops" in qmail-smtpd.c), qpsmtpd should do the same.
OK.
However I stand by my original statement that qpsmtpd can (and should, and
I believe does, via require_resolvable_fromhost) *avoid* loops created by
MX records resolving to 0.0.0.0, so there is no need to detect the loop
which such a record creates with qmail.
