Hello all,

I stumbled upon a weird situation when trying to send mail to [email protected]. 
smtpd entered into an endless loop:

The reason for this is:

obsd-test# host webmail.de
webmail.de has address 64.190.63.111
webmail.de mail is handled by 0 localhost.

I mistyped swbmail.de as webmail.de. So it is partially my fault. Webmail.de is 
for sale by sedo.com. It is really weird that they enter localhost as mx. They 
should at least have their own fake mailer which simply rejects emails to 
webmail.com.

But my question is: How can I harden smtpd.conf against such mx entries?

OpenBSD obsd-test.rebehn.net 7.2 GENERIC#6 amd64 running under ESXi 7.0U3
Clean install, default smtpd.conf

Thanks for any help,

        Heinrich
