Great!

It means that mail for both cardinalservices.com and
ns.cardinalservices.com will be delivered as "local"; that is, for any
user foo, mail for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and mail for
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> will end up being delivered to the same
place. So what's "right" depends on what you intend to happen.
The loop happened because the MX pointed to you, but the fqdn wasn't
listed as local; so when the mail came in, it tried to forward it to
the destination, which was itself. One of the things that confused me
was that this wasn't detected; I thought I remembered an error message
for this situation.

Okay, won't worry about that any more. I did my first few qmail
installs before LWQ existed. I used it for the first time on a recent
install, and found it very clear and explicit.
