Tom,

It's time to take a step back and decide what you want your mail system
to do and then design an implementation that will do it.  I don't think
chasing wierd behavior will get you from here to there.  I suspect you
copied and pasted some complex Postfix configuration when something
simpler would have served you better.

But just in case I'm wrong, why not tell Postfix not to use Procmail?
