: sendmail....: MX list for networkss.com. points back to homer.networkss.com

: sendmail....: networkss.com. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)

Hi,

include a statement like: Fw/etc/sendmail.cw
in your sendmail.cf. Edit (create) the file sendmail.cw and include
all machine/domain-names you like to receive mail for.
e.g.:
your-domain
machine.at.other.domain

THis should fix the problem.

Regards, Stephan
