RAA02692: SYSERR(root): MX list for fyi.net. points back to yoda.fyi.net

When using the MX version of Sun's sendmail, I do not get this error. My MX list looks like:

...
        IN      MX      0 yoda.fyi.net.
        IN      A       204.179.80.2
...

TIA,

Steve

What an amazing coincidence! I just worked out why this was  happening for
one of my hosts.
By design sendmail will not deliver to  localhost.
When it gets a list of MX records if loghost is present it eliminates it as
a candidate and all records of lower preference.
Why it is designed this way, I don't know.

[ Added comp.mail.sendmail as receiver. ]

fyi.net preference = 100, mail exchanger = mail.uu.net
fyi.net preference = 0, mail exchanger = yoda.fyi.net

yoda.fyi.net don't recognize itself to be fyi.net. Add 'fyi.net' to
class 'w' in sendmail.cf in yoda.fyi.net. That is:
Cw fyi.net
