You configured Postfix to deliver mail to itself. It dutifully
tries to do so and reports a loop as it should. I don't know what
your intentions are, but you appear to be stumbling around in the
dark without any real understanding of what you're doing.
You need to take a step back and think harder about what problem
you're really trying to solve with these settings, draw a diagram
of the desired mail flow, and think about how the Postfix MTA fits
into the desired end-state, and understand how the corresponding
configuration settings affect the mail flow.

The No-Starch or the O'Reilly Postfix books will be helpful.
Cargo-cult configuration will not get you very far when your needs
are specialized, you need to reach a higher level of proficiency.
