This keeps the mail from looping back on itself. You can also use Fw and then the name of a file which contains all the local host names to recognize (each hostname is separated by a carriage return) I keep a file in my /etc directory named hosts.mail and simply give sendmail a HUP when I add another host (virtual host for domain e-mail purposes)
