HA! that's funny but it would work i guess LUL

it was actually calling one of my administrative AKAs for HOST routing... i'm
still looking at options...

FWIW: i did, at one time, have to put in a routing statement for my system to
route to itself because it was sending the netmail to one of my upstream links
which was sending it right back... that was a similar loop problem... i'll get
it figured out somehow... i just don't really recall other mailers being able
to connect to themselves over POTS or, as in this case, TCP/IP... it just seems
proper that the mailer would recognize the destination as one of its own
addresses and simply refuse to make the attempt at all... maybe with a
configurable option? i dunno...
