<question id="mail-loopback">
<para>Why does Sendmail give me an error reading
<quote><errorname>mail loops back to
myself</errorname></quote>?</para>
<errorname>mail loops back to
myself</errorname>?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>This is answered in the sendmail FAQ as follows:</para>
<literallayout> * I'm getting "Local configuration error" messages, such as:
553 relay.domain.net config error: mail loops back to myself
554 &lt;user@domain.net&gt;... Local configuration error
How can I solve this problem?
You have asked mail to the domain (e.g., domain.net) to be
forwarded to a specific host (in this case, relay.domain.net)
by using an MX record, but the relay machine does not recognize
itself as domain.net. Add domain.net to /etc/mail/local-host-names
(if you are using FEATURE(use_cw_file)) or add "Cw domain.net"
to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.
