For SMTP (and this is what you're talking about, right?) a front-end server is no different than a back-end server. What are these front-end servers using for DNS? Are they maybe using an outside DNS that points the e-mail domain back to themselves?

If we check the details for those messages builiding up in the front-end the details say : mailloop misconfigured. Are we loosing any "a must" configuration to properly route messages front Front-end to back-end? note: messages sent from back-end mailboxes to internet are ok.
