MX error? sendmail says: mail loops back to me

[frankdw]

When from a remote host, I send email to my system, the session transcript is: "mail.sandarh.com. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem) 554 5.3.6 Local configuration error."

mail.sandarh.com is the mail MX record for the domain. Any help? Thanks in advance.

if your domain name is abc.com and you're trying to send an email to root@abc.com from say hotmail.com, that abc.com should be present in your mail server's /etc/mail/local-host-names file as well as in your /etc/hosts file.

ensure that you have your domain in the /etc/mail/sendmail.cw file.

Check one thing. Do you have your domain specified in the sendmail.cw file.
