Well, procmail doesn't read .forward, sendmail does.  So sendmail reads
the .forward, bypassing the configured LDA.  If that has a problem and
bounces though, it'll be bounced to the postmaster (the user probably),
which gets in the loop.

I would agree that if procmail is already the LDA (look for ^Mlocal
in sendmail.cf, and check for the procmail path) you should get rid of
the .forward.
