Whenever this message is logged (it's actually "for <domain>" rather
than "for <host>"), the message
"remote host address is the local host"
is associated with the address which caused it. That message should get
logged with the address and message id in the normal way. In fact, the
message id should in any case be included with the message you quote.
Can you provide an example where it isn't?
I'm not sure why I put in the extra logging line, but perhaps it was
because the <domain> that failed might not be the domain in the address,
as a result of changes during routing.
