dns looks fine, but i'm seeing it from 'outside' (etc/hosts ? hostname?)

Try quenching alias expansion, map bob@domain -> bob@localhost in
virtualusertable (or the GUI)

If it still loops, it' past virtualusertable (alias's , majordomo-aliases,
bob's .forward file....

If that fixes it, it's before expansion finishes, tho, i dunno where else
it would be, you have reasonable MX's, and no cnames, did you change the
dns recently? did you restart sendmail since (completly? it remembers
interface names forever, I'm kinda guessing you had to tho)

you don't have a wildcard forwarding entry going to nowhere in the end of
virtualusertable do you ? mail->www ?
