Hi there,
I am running BSDI 2.1.  I have configured a virtual domain for one of my
clients.  His Web page sits on my server and can be accessed from the net
using www.hisdomain.com.

I have a problem with my sendmail configuration however.  I created a new
.mc file and generated the new sendmail.cf file(after saving the original
file).  

The new .mc file contains the entries:

Cw hisdomain.com

and in the LOCAL_RULE_0 section:
R$+     <@ hisdomain.com> $#local $:$1.fund 

the /etc/aliases file has the following lines added to the bottom of the
file:
MAILER-DAEMON.fund: postmaster.fund
postmaster.fund: root.fund
webmaster.fund: root.fund
hostmaster.fund: root.fund
sales.fund: root.fund
root.fund: hisname

where hisname is a valid user-id on my server.  

When I execute the "newaliases" command, I get infinite loop errors. 

Can someone give me a reason for this problem.  I am almost sure I followed
all the steps outlined in the BSDI manual.

Hope someone can shed some light on this.
