Hello,

I almost got my FBSD(2.2.2R) fully configured.  I love it!

The only problem that I have is that my system can send mail ok, but can't
receive any.  I am 192.168.1.1 power.my.domain I also have static IP which
is aliased under power.myisp.com in hosts file.  In rc.local I have 
"ifconfig ed2 inet <myStaticIP> netmask 255.255.255.255 alias"

Sendmail is daemonized and I telnet to port 25 ok, however mail always 
gets returned if sent from outside with error of
  Too many hops 18 (17 max): from <gregor@cc.gatech.edu> via
  power.myisp.com  to <gregor@power.myisp.com>
I don't see any warning or error messages in /var/log/maillog, but I do 
see entries something like:
  Sep 19 14:55:02 bms sendmail[447]: OAA00447:  from=<gregor@cc.gatech.edu>,
  size=1184, class=0, pri=31184, nrcpts=1,
  msgid=<Pine.SOL.3.95.970919145204.15755A-100000@cc.gatech.edu>,
  proto=ESMTP, relay=root@myisp.com

I think I missing something simple in configuration somewhere.
Thanks.

Gregory
