The sendmail 'built in check' causing this is protecting you from an
infinite loop. What I think you need to do is check the rules in your
configuration file that recognize 'myself' in the address. You have to
rewrite that address to be just the user portion so that things can
resolve to the local mailer and can be delivered.
trivial example assuming the macros $w and $D have their usual meaning as
fully-qualified hostname and mail-domain respectively:
R$-@$D $1 rewrite stuff@mydomain to stuff only
R$-@$w $1 rewrite stuff@mymachine to stuff only
These are off the top of my head but you get the idea. Maybe the rules are
incorrect or missing. Maybe the macros are incorrect or missing. Maybe
the ruleset is never invoked or improperly formed. I'd check that class
of things first.
I hope that this is helpful. Good luck!
