Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I have version 2.0.5 installed. Outbound mail seems to work fine, as does local mail (local being just between users on THIS machine). Inbound mail from the Internet gets re-routed to root with a sendmail error of: 553 basenji config error: mail loops back to myself 554 ,... Local configuration error I understand that there is a config error and that it is an endless loop. Since this is the out-of-the-box sendmail.cf that came on the CD, I assume I need to add or change a few lines. Can you point me to the lines I need to change? I have searched the FAQ database at www.freebsd.org and have made at least a basic attempt to look it up in my Sendmail book, but can't seem to find it. Thanks for any help!
