Ori Bernstein e6d31c1715 spf: limit recursion depth to prevent ddos (thanks tijay, iashiq5)
An attacker may use an infinite number of SPF referrals in his/her SPF
setting and can send an email to your mail server which would make
your SMTP server make a lot of DNS queries.  By exploiting this
vulnerability, an attacker can block your SMTP queue, flood the
associated recursive resolver, or any DNS authoritative server.

According to RFC recommendations
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7208#section-4.6), a few DNS
lookup limits exist that an SMTP server needs to maintain while
resolving an SPF record.  That is, SPF implementations MUST limit the
total number of query-causing terms to 10 and the number of void
lookups to 2 to avoid unreasonable load on the DNS.
