    Mmm... I do have procmail installed, I use it extensively. But skipping
    the sendmail handling, which does more things and checks (like some
    antispam cheks), and then in turn calls procmail, I dunno... :-?

    Anyway, both mails are not exact duplicates. Both are from
    "MAILER-DAEMON@localwhatever". But one is sent to
    "Postmaster@localwhatever", and the other
    "FETCHMAIL-DAEMON@localwhatever", double size.
