Hmmm, I've been fighting with this for an hour;

I have a catchall in /etc/mail/virtusertable (this is the only entry
actually) to send all mail for my domain to a local user, ie:

@domain.com                     leth

Looks good to me, but I am getting this in syslog:

May 18 20:43:19 blap sm-mta[518]: g4J0gwPo000516: SYSERR(root):
mail.domain.com. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)

I obviously have DNS setup properly because it's coming back to the
machine.  However, it shouldn't be even making a connection to itself
because the domain is in the virtusertable, so that would be searched
first.  It just doesn't seem to think the line is in there.

"Kvirtuser hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable" is in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

I don't think it is a permissions problem on the virtuser table, because:
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    602 May 18 20:35 virtusertable
I think it would also complain if it can't read the file.

I am using the default .cf that comes with freebsd (4.6-RC from a day or
two ago) which has sendmail 8.12.3.

Any ideas where I can start looking for the cause of this?  I am
somewhat familiar with sendmail, but never ran into this before.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
