With a view to getting information on our proposed Whisky Trail hopscotch - looks like the 1st 3 weeks in June are penciled in - I sent an email to the following address

information@islay.visitscotland.com

I got this response

This message passed through a number of mail servers
greater than the maximum number specified in the
Maximum MTA Hops field. This probably indicates that
there are accounts on separate machines that forward
mail to each other.

There may also be a problem with the host address or
Domain Name System records.

Maximum Hops: 15

Anyway, this is the 1st attempt but I have never heard of "hops" and the fact that their is alimit.

However, I shall plod on, and will undoutably get the info I require

regards

Geoff

Hi Geoff

Sounds a bit weird to me, though the URL sounds genuine enough. I'm no expert but have a friend who's a network manager so if nobody else can help I'll ask him tomorrow. I expect he will know what it means.

Cheers

It's easy. Hops are all part of the beer brewing process, so you're obviously meant to do a beerfest and not a whiskey trail. Take it as a sign, change your plans now, and visit the hops field.

Sad Don't give up the day job, will ya.

I'm not a fan of fizzy beer, although I like the occasional bitter. Now the golden stuff - we shouldn't be wasting valuable time talking about it....

You appear to have missed the full stop out between Islay and visit scotland

Attack from a different angle, go to

Address works for me

Hops, and I'm not technical are a sort of redirection to an address or website, some programmes wil not allow more than a certain number of hops or re directions for fear of the site or address being dangerous. Apple particularly does this.

Best definition I could find

An intermediate connection in a string of connections linking two network devices. On the Internet, for example, most data packets need to go through several routers before they reach their final destination. Each time the packet is forwarded to the next router, a hop occurs. The more hops, the longer it takes for data to go from source to destination. You can see how many hops it takes to get to another Internet host by using the PING or traceroute utilities.
Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) advertise how many hops away from Internet backbone they are. Theoretically, the fewer hops it takes to get your data onto the backbone, the faster your access will be.
