>Description:
I think the answer for Question 5.17. ``Why does Sendmail give me an
error reading "mail loops back to myself"?'' should be fixed and
updated a bit. This Q&A itself can be also found in the FreeBSD
Handbook [1], so it is enough to place a link here (the Handbook is
also more up-to-date than the FAQ). The error message mentioned in
the question marked up by <quote> tags, but they should be
<errorname> tags, though.

<answer>
- <para>This is answered in the sendmail FAQ as follows:</para>
-
-<literallayout> * I'm getting "Local configuration error" messages, such as:
-
- 553 relay.domain.net config error: mail loops back to myself
- 554 <user at domain.net>... Local configuration error
-
- How can I solve this problem?
-
- You have asked mail to the domain (e.g., domain.net) to be
- forwarded to a specific host (in this case, relay.domain.net)
- by using an MX record, but the relay machine does not recognize
- itself as domain.net. Add domain.net to /etc/mail/local-host-names
- (if you are using FEATURE(use_cw_file)) or add "Cw domain.net"
- to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.
