The server doesn't recognize turkey.ispro.net.tr as being local. When it
receives mail for that domain, it decides the address isn't local, so it
does an MX lookup. The MX record tells it to deliver the message to itself
(or there is no MX record, and the machine in question *is*
turkey.ispro.net.tr). It recognizes this as a loop, and you see the
result.

The solution is to add turkey.ispro.net.tr to /etc/sendmail.cw, or to add
Cwturkey.ispro.net.tr to /etc/sendmail.cf. (You should see Cwlocalhost in
there near the top. Just add it below that.)
