Procmail forwarding recipes created by Ingo contain no protecting against
mail loops if the forwarded-to address is bad or if it forwards back to this
address.  The attached patch should fix the problem.

The patch still has one bug, described in the comments.

I'm no procmail expert, but we've been running this patch for a few months
with no complaints.
