This is such an old question. But I guess I could really learn something. I was trying to send my sendmail a email messages from my yahoo account. And I got the usual newbie error:
"553 5.3.5 localhost.myname.org. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)" what did I miss? I got no 553 if I sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] rather than [EMAIL PROTECTED] Did I misread some docs? My private domain is myname.org. I am using myname.homeip.net as the dynamic DNS name. /var/named/pz/myname.org: # snipped $ORIGIN myname.org. 10 IN MX localhost 20 IN MX localhost localhost IN A 127.0.0.1 #snipped /etc/mail/mailertable: homeip.net smtp:[localhost] homeip.net. smtp:[localhost] /etc/mail/local-host-names: myname.org -- The pivotal point is the "second chance", judged by another set of criteria.
