OK I wouldn't worry about the hanging from this output. I suspect it's
just the SMTP client and/or server keeping the connection open in case
a subsequent MAIL FROM was on the way. However

That's definitely wrong. I wonder if your aliases file is to blame.
Quoting your first message

Is this not a circular definition?
Personally I would try to achieve what you are doing with a
/root/.procmailrc file containing
:0c
!myemail@fastmail.fm
:0
/var/mail/root
Do you have an /etc/mailname?
