Thanks Josip and Santiago for your replies!

That's nicer, I guess.  So would the following work, in place of the
existing two lines (which are:
:0
! $FORWARD
), and have the same effect, minus the looping?

:0
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^X-Loop: $FORWARD
| formail -A"X-Loop: $FORWARD" | $SENDMAIL $FORWARD

Thanks!
