When I send mail to an address at that machine, it gives an error: Local configuration error: Mail loops back to myself. Evidently, sendmail does not realize that it is supposed to accept the mail message addressed to this name, and not forward it. I was told to put all names for this machine in /etc/sendmail.cw file, but that didn't fix the problem. Is that the proper name of that file? Is it the proper location? What is the correct format of that file? How do I tell sendmail to look at it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will bee looking in this newsgroup for responces, but please also CC your reply to me.
