Hello Everyone,

After trying for hours, I have no idea to solve my problem.
May one courier-guru find a way ... :-/

I've a linux-box, with 2 MTAs running on it.

qmail on address   192.168.1.1 (outside) and 172.16.1.1 (inside)
courier on address 192.168.1.3 (outside) and 172.16.1.3 (inside)

MX delivers

qmail delivers per default ALL mail -> 172.16.1.5 (scanner)
scanner delivers all mail -> courier
courier delviers per default ALL via MX

the scanner back to courier and it sends 


    MX        MX
    ^         |
    |         V
    |
  +---------------+
  | |         |   |
  | courier   |   | 
  | |         |   |  
  | |       qmail |--------test.com------> ms-exchange 
  | |         |   |
  | |         |   |
  | |         |   |
  +---------------+
  ^ ^        v
  | |        |
  | |    < - |
  |  scanner
  |      
  |
  customer


the MX-record redirect to a FQHN for 192.168.1.1 (qmail)
qmail has a rule (smtproutes) to redirect test.com to
a ms-exchange-server in a DMZ.

My problem is, when 'customer or scanner' sends a email
to test.com and the MX for test.com points to qmail, 
courier DOES NOT send to 192.168.1.1, courier quits 
with error 

"configuration error: mail loops back to myself (MX problem)"

what's wrong ? why do courier not send the mail to 192.168.1.1 ?
does it recognize, thats an ip address on the same host and try 
to be very smart ? how could i stop this ?

many thanks in advance
Best Regards /fozzy
