I'm having a problem that I am just not smart enough to figure out.
I have a redhat 7.3 "mail" machine running sendmail which handles
internet mail just fine. My problem is when I send mail from another
linux host ("anothermachine") on the local network it wont go.
I have DNS set up for "mydomain.com". In order to resolve names on the
local network I have also set up DNS for "mpls.mydomain.com". So
"mail.mydomain.com" from the internet gets you to my "mail" machine. To
get to my "mail machine On the local 192.168.1.x network I must use
"mail.mpls.mydomain.com".
Here is my sendmail error:

mail loops back because you are its final destination. So how do I tell
sendmail to accept mail addressed to mail.mpls.mydomain.com? I have
added it to /etc/mail/virtusertable (@mpls.circussoftware.com %1)
My Private network dns:
