Take for example,

viewlogic.com.		IN	MX	10  suntan.viewlogic.com.
*.viewlogic.com.	IN	MX	10  suntan.viewlogic.com.

If the system runs sendmail.mx when it comes to a site that has MX records
setup then sendmail.mx will connect back to itself.  

This causes an "Internal error" message when sending mail.
