   In the sendmail log file i only got the "from" line and no "too"
   line.
   Looks like the sendmail finds that the email goes back to the same
   place it was send from and ate it.

Looks like the same problem I once had. In my case it was
cured when I added 'm' option in my sedmail configuration
(Add line 'Om' on sendmail.cf or start sendmail with flag
-om).

If that opion is missing, sendmail tries to catch situations
when you have send mail to some alias list (like your .forward
in other host) and you get copy back. It then drops that copy
because you have already seen it....... Can be quite confusing,
so I always have that option in my sendmail configurations.
