hi davide,

there are some mx records that point to 127.0.0.1 (stupid, but i have
noticed one today).

so if xmail trys to send an email to the server, it sends the mail to
itsself and produces a mail loop.

it's not an xmail bug, but xmail could check for those stupid mx records.

here the one i noticed:

[soenke@blah soenke]$ dig vivapuls.tv mx

; <<>> DiG 9.1.3 <<>> vivapuls.tv mx
