You can use tracert to get a pretty good idea of how many servers also
get
to look at the data.

really? *woaahh*

Not sure what your point is. Your own test shows 20 hops from your server
to mine. Of course there are duplicate server owners, but any server in the
chain sees the data being passed along.

You're just proving my point. Internet communications are almost never
point-to-point. It's naive to assume that spammers don't own their own
servers that could be used to transfer email from one end point to another.
