Internal mail delivery failure

I'm a bit of an Exchange newbee so i'm sorry if this is an obvious question.

I've setup exchange 2003 on a windows 2000 server domain (called Mayfield) and have successfully connected outlook on my client computers. The system is just being used at the moment for internal emails.

When a user sends an email, it successfully sends but is never received by the recipient. I have looked everywhere in the Exchange System Manager for a reason why this would be and the only thing I can find is in the 'Queues' section under 'Servers'. When I click on the mayfield.local SMTP queue it says 'Unable to deliver the message because the destination address was misconfigured as a mail loop' under additional queue information.

Can anyone tell me if this is why my mail won't be delivered and if so how I can fix it?

Many thanks
 
Many thanks for the post. I have gone through the solution but it is still not delivering anything.

I downloaded the troubleshooting tool from Microsoft and tried to run it. My problem is that it asks for a code from my Non Delivery Report. When i send a message, I don't receive a Non Delivery Report.

Does this help with identifying where the problem may be?
 
Triple-check your addresses and forwarders, there may be a simple reason to this as in forwarding one account to another and back.
