There is a user id of admin on the main server. If I'm logged into it and mail to admin, that works fine. However, if I try to mail to admin@addy.com, the mailer complains about that "mail loops back to myself." I tried to install an MX record, but that also tripped it up as a loop. Fine. I'll try a rewrite rule. So, in the beginnning of rule 0, I put Radmin@addy.com admin No dice. If I do a sendmail -bt and test the rule, it rewrites fine. However, sendmail seems to ignore it when mailing, it does not rewrite the address and spools it in the queue. Help! I'm at my wits end with something that should be so simple.
