I tried this solution and it doesn't do it. I still get a delivery error.
Maybe I didn't describe the problem correctly.
I host, on my FBSD 2.2.2 box, websites that I design for my clients. I've
got a 32 IP subnet from my ISP (netmask 255.255.255.224). I do NOT provide
dial-up. I only get mail loops when my client uses my ISP for dial-up. My
ISP also is my secondary and the rev-arpa files are on their server, not mine.

When any mail is sent to info@equinomical.com, I get this on my console:

Feb 6 07:16:26 br01 sendmail[1823]: HAA01821: SYSERR(root):
smtp.acw-web.com. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)

I have this domain entered in my sendmail.cw file, and I don't have any
aliases assigned to this domain. My server is authoritative.
All of my other virtual domains are setup very similarly to this one, yet
they all work (see below for db file) I am massively stumped here.
