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.
