This problem is now solved with help from tml@hemuli.atk.vtt.fi (Tor
Lillqvist) and the solution was to use /bin/rmail as the local mailer.  The
manual claims mail and rmail almost identical - the only difference is that
rmail won't read mail.  But there seems to be other differences, too.

Anyway, don't try to use rmail on BSD machines as the local delivery agent.
That will cause a loop (I'm speaking of experience).

Do you have the l flag in the mailer definition flags?  Tor gave me the
followin line to use in my sendmail.cf

	Mlocal,	P=/bin/rmail, F=DFMSlms,	A=rmail -d $u

You could try it, too.  If you're running BSD, then use

	Mlocal,	P=/bin/mail, F=DFMSlmns,	A=mail -d $u

Hope that'll help.
