You are 100% right, but i CANNOT control mx records of other nameservers. So everytime my xmail server tries to send a mail to a domain with 127.0.0.1 mx record, it will generate a mail loop (if 127.0.0.1 is allowed relay address). > This method is used to avoid traffic for domains that does not have > emails, because the RFC dictates that if an MX lookup fails the A record > must be tried. The simple solution is to have domain name that does not > have A records, in this way even the A record method will fail and no > traffic will be generated inside the domain network. as i said, i have no control over foreign name servers and cannot solve the problem. solution could be that xmail allows no mails to servers with 127.0.0.1 mx. greets, soenke. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
