After configuring my DNS service, below is basically what I have in my 
named.hosts file:

@	IN	SOA	nuts.test.com.	root.nuts.test.com. (
		... )
	IN	NS	nuts.test.com.
	IN	NS	morenuts.test.com.
	IN	MX	10 nuts.test.com.

localhost	IN	A	127.0.0.1
nuts	IN	A	123.45.6.7
loghost	IN	CNAME	nuts.test.com.

When I tried to sendmail to john@test.com, sendmail will give me an error 
of : mail loops back to myself?!

Anyway I am using FreeBSD 2.1 and the sendmail.cf that come with it...and 
there is no error when I tried sending mail to john@nuts or 
john@nuts.test.com..........So can anyone enlighten me on the error?
TIA
