I know what the message means -- I spent hours going through sendmail list archives looking for a solution besides "go read the FAQ" (which I've done, and followed, and reiterated multiple times, to no avail). > Maybe you just want to give us some more information about your problem. > To what adress do you send an eMail? What error comes back? Give us the > configuration of sendmail, .... I'm trying to send mail from an OpenBSD router on my home network to a machine on that network. The error message that I get is the typical "mail loops back to me (MX problem?)". I've set up my service.switch file to use /etc/hosts instead of trying to use DNS to resolve the host. Yes, I've read the FAQ, as I stated before. I've followed it. I've searched mailing list archives for the error message. I think the webadmin of theaimsgroup.com honestly believes that I'm trying to DoS their site by now. ;) Thanks in advance for any help with this.
