In an example near the end of rfc974 it sez: * There are once again three MX RRs for A.EXAMPLE.ORG, but in this case the * mailer must discard the RRs for itself... The context is that a mailer on B wants to send to A, and A has 3 mx records, one for A, one for B and one for C. Of course B wouldn't want to use the mx record for B. Well, I have a problem... I have an exactly analogous situation - only B *IS NOT DISCARDING* the RRs for itself! I want mail for A to come and sit on B's queue until A comes back up, or until the mail times out. Instead, mail is bouncing, because B is trying to start a loop with itself. I have sendmail 5.59 - I guess I just though the code that handles MX would do the right thing. Can any of you think of what I might be doing wrong? thanks... -Mike Marshall hubcap@hubcap.clemson.edu

Most configurations will demand special cases for MX records in sendmail cf files. For example, I forward for ASYLUM.SF.CA.US, and I have the following line in my CF file: R$*<@ASYLUM.SF.CA.US> $#uucp$@asylum$:$1<@ASYLUM.SF.CA.US> #asylum If you are forwarding for an entire domain, you probably need an additional rule.
