[cobalt-users] Using local addresses with procmail (= sendmail)



Hello,

When playing with Procmail, I've noticed when I enter local users to forward
an email to, sendmail sends 24 messages until it hits too many hubs. I'm
sure prcomail works because when I enter e-mail-addresses outside the
server(RAQ3) it works fine.

Procmailrc:

:0c
* ^TOme@xxxxxxxxxxxx
! me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

=>Does not work when the 2nd e-mail address is local, when it isn't it works
great.

So I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the way sendmail (doesn't)
deliver(s) local mail. Sendmail seems to deliver the message and then add it
back to the mail queue. It does add a "Recieved:"-header to the message so a
mail-loop is avoided.

Things i checked already:
-the procmail man
-the procmail log
-o'reilly's sendmail book
-sendmail log

I've tried to do my homework but since I'm not a sendmail expert, I might
missed it.

Any suggestions?
