mail loops back to me (MX problem?)

Hi,

I have a mail problem on my packet radio node.

If I address a mail to an existing user on the packet node I get the
following error message returned.

553 jbnary.bqwvfnweu@rev.iq.pl. config error: mail loops back to me (MX
problem?)
554 <rsjm@spsp.com>... Local configuration error

If I restart sendmail with `kill -1 <PID_of_sendmail>` then everything
works fine again. This is very anoying because after a reboot of the
machine I'm not able to receive mail.

Does anybody know what might be causing this?
