I turned verbose logging on, but there wasn't a single reference to any
of the messages I should have gotten in the last couple days (checking
against the web view at groups.yahoo.com).

Can I be sure that the bounce message is coming from critpath? My mail
is forwarded from eyeballsun, but it doesn't look like eyeballsun is
generating the bounce.

Any other ideas?

The too many hops message is usually a mail loop - for example, 2 misconfigured mail
servers or scripts forwarding mail to each other. If your procmail script is
forwarding mail to another address somewhere, you might want to look into
this.
