Even more hints about sendmail/e-mail

config error: mail loops back to myself

You are still getting this message:
	553 relay.domain.net config error: mail loops back to myself
	554 <user@domain.net>... Local configuration error
and both hints didn't solve your problem?

So here is another hint what might be wrong: You use a

LOCAL_RULE_0
in your sendmail.mc (which is S98 in sendmail.cf)? This rule is evaluated before the local recognition of S0 happens. So if you use some rule here, which (by accident) also matches your local host but doesn't resolve to local, you have a problem. Try to debug that address and see where it fails (where it gets resolved to another mailer than local).
