You don't need to add an ip address as an alias. Aliases are for domain
names that cannot be detected by ser on startup (reverse dns (listen
ips) doesn't include your domain name).

You get 483 because you enabled maxforwards and now the if the message
is forwarded more then 10 times, it will be dropped and you'll get this
message (as opposed to running out of memory when forwardind the message
back to yourself forever).

This is the check that fails. Probably you use a domain name
!=mydomain.com. It is better and safer to add all your domain to "alias=" and
 use if (uri==myself). If you don't want to use "myself", you should at
 least add your real domain name, host name and ip address to the if
 (uri~=) check.
