Along similar lines, any well-written Procmail recipe which redirects 
mail typically checks for, or adds, an "X-Loop" header before 
forwarding anything.

If the "editheader" Sieve extension gets implemented, then a well-
written sieve script should be able to do the same type of thing.
To me this seems a bit more sane than expecting lmtp or sieve to 
accomplish it automatically.
