I'm setting up a new 4.3-release BSD system as a mail server but am having
problems... can anyone lead me in the right direction to tell me where my
config error is?

Here's the message I get bounced:


   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<don@halloo.com>
    (reason: system config error)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
553 5.3.5 mail.halloo.com. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)
554 5.3.5 <don@halloo.com>... Local configuration error

My MX record is as follows:

mail.halloo.com.                IN      A       64.124.188.10
halloo.com.                     IN      MX      10      mail.halloo.com.

The /var/log/maillog shows this:

When I do an MX lookup, everything shows up ok... forward and reverse DNS
work fine, everything looks kosher.

Here's my mc file config (Basically the default mc file w/ the blacklist
stuff enabled):

Any ideas?
