[CCing the list again in case someone else runs into this]
From the sendmail FAQ:
I'm getting these error messages:
553 MX list for domain.net points back to relay.domain.net
554 <user@domain.net>... Local configuration error
How can I solve this problem?
You have asked mail to a 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 doesn't recognize itself as domain.net.
Add domain.net to /etc/mail/local-host-names [known as
/etc/sendmail.cw prior to version 8.10] (if you are using
FEATURE(`use_cw_file')) or add "Cw domain.net" to your configuration
file.
So, basically mortgage.gorman-gorman.com doesn't know it's supposed to be
accepting mail for gorman-gorman.com. Add gorman-gorman.com to the
/etc/mail/sendmail.cw file, kill -HUP sendmail, and try again.
