Local Configuration Error: Mail Loops back to me
Any idea how to force sendmail to allow this from certain hosts?
TIA,

Re: Local Configuration Error: Mail Loops back to me
It HAS to relay mail somewhere.
What's defined as the smart relay (DS) host in the sendmail.cf file.
IF you have that set to the "virtual" IP - well then you've just defined a nice little loop.
So the questions are"
1) What moves mail OUT of the domain?
2) What routes internal mail?
I would recommend that you define the outbound mail server as the relay host & let it move mail to the internal relay. That should stop the loop.
HTH,
Jeff

Re: Local Configuration Error: Mail Loops back to me
type some text
.
Trace the route.
make corrections to sendmail.cf or the sendmail macros and restart sendmail.
Test again.

Re: Local Configuration Error: Mail Loops back to me
The local sendmail DS (and DH) macro is configured to point to the service guard package. This is the case for all of the servers on that subnet, including the one where the serviceguard package runs. The serviceguard package has it's own config or course. IT is configured to deliver mail locally and it's DS macro is set to a company wide mail server. This configuration works great for all of the servers except wherever I run the package.

Re: Local Configuration Error: Mail Loops back to me
I needed to set the F=k option for the Mrelay agent on the client systems:
Mrelay, P=[IPC], F=kmDFMuXa8, S=11/31, R=61, E=\r\n, L=2040,
T=DNS/RFC822/SMTP,
A=IPC $h
It's the client that was checking for this loop so I just set this option on the hosts that can run the serviceguard package.
