I kind of solved the problem.
I am using pppoe to connect to my BB provider
over eth1 with an IP address 192.168.3.1.
when sendmail starts, it binded itsefl to eth1 rather than the
pppoe interface. My named's MX on the other hands pointed at
my eth0 (the internal network card) that had an IP
I see. if I am to pump in my real IP address,
I needed to use a script to generate the zone file
using /etc/ppp/ip-up (my ISP used pppoe),
and restarts named afterward.
Does named have a runtime paramters to achieve that?
or say could I point MX into an executable script?
10 IN
That's as far as I could go after reading all relevant messages from
linux.nf and sendmail.org. if a guru could point out the errors in my
scripts
My server is named server.myname.org
This is a FAQ specifically dealth with in the sendmail FAQ at
http://www.sendmail.org/.

Well...
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
