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
