I'm getting a number of errors everyday in my logs of the sort:

mail.eastrolog.com. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)

sure enough, if I do a DNS lookup for the above host, it resolves to
127.0.0.1. Is there anything I can do about this? I get about half a
dozen different hosts like this per relay per day.
