My ISP sets up internal domains of the form user.group.best.com for PPP
accounts, so my "domain" would be gjw.vip.best.com. Now, I run a closed list
called scripture-l (Closed means non-memberposts are sent to me for
approval.) I wanted to see if mail redirected via procmail would go through
(which I was 95% sure it would) so that I could usae my own domain name for
the list.
Anyway...Here is my .procmailrc (which is nothing spectacular)
LOGFILE=/home/gjw/procmail.log

I sent a message called "test" to
scripture-l(_at_)gjw(_dot_)vip(_dot_)best(_dot_)com and here is
the tail end of my procmail.log (majordomo prepends "S-L:" to the message
subject):

I have already deleted my .forward.
Do you see the problem here or know what I can do to stop it?
