Unfortunately, the problem is not only related to sendmail (if it is).
I had fecthmail running to grab my mail on the POP3 server.  I had it
running in demon mode as soon as I had established the ppp connection.

Observing this problem, I stopped using fetchmail in demon to see what
was going on. What I did observe is that I soon as I connect, my mail
is getting fetch anyway WITHOUT my control!  Someone is controlling my
mailbox. He is not doing it with fetchmail.

    Syslog, process accounting, network traffic monitoring, and a good
Unix book are your friends.  Personally, I strongly doubt somebody
"controlling" your machine would have any reason to touch your mailbox;
I may be wrong though.  Anyway, this is drifting away from Procmail.
