What mailer is creating this bounce? I'll bet it is sendmail, and
there is nothing you can do about it; the site(s) involved have to
change their configuration.
qmail relies on Delivered-To for loop detection rather than the
simplistic counting of Received lines that sendmail uses. For "belt
and braces" security qmail-smtpd has a hop count limit of 100 as a
backup, but you're clearly not seeing this.
