Hi, I am having an OpenSMTPD configuration which relays local mail to itself, failing after 100 (?) recursions.
The problem is that a periodic cron-job sends mail to root@`hostname`, but the OpenSMTPD instance on `hostname` does not have a rule to accept mail for `hostname`. `hostname` in this case is for example mail2.mydomain.de. As mail2.mydomain.de does not have a MX record (only mydomain.de has a MX record, pointing to mail.mydomain.de), it tries to relay the mail directly to mail2.mydomain.de, that is, it tries to relay the mail to itself. Luckily there is a limit and after 100 recursions it stops. It's easy to fix by adding a rule for mail2.mydomain.de, but I am just curious wheather it's good practice or useful to relay to ourself, or whether we want to forbid that?
