As a matter of principle, when the Postfix SMTP client finds its own IP address in the list of destination domain MX addresses, then it WILL NOT hand-off mail to an equal-or-less preference MX host or to an smtp_fallback_relay. This prevents mailer loops. If a remote site lists 127.0.0.1 as an MX address then they are the ones who create the problem, not Postfix. I am not inclined to hard-code (more) special cases into Postfix just to work around obviouly bogus DNS configurations. I would rather implement a configurable DNS lookup filter. Wietse
