Actually, if I'm reading this right, it's the number of IP hops between
the sending server and the receiving server -- in other words, how many
lines you'd see if you were on the receiving server and ran traceroute
to the sending MTA.
I've rarely seen any messages that passed through more than 5 MTAs --
certainly not enough to account for the graph. But 10 routers between
me and the sender? That doesn't seem unreasonable at all.
