Ok.  I've narrowed it down -- smail doesn't like mail addressed to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- if I tell fetchmail to use procmail as the delivery
agent,  everything is fine,  but otherwise sendmail seems to send itself
into infinite loops trying to deliver to "localhost" and then it just
returns "too many hops" errors.

Sometimes it doesn't seem to be listening on port 25,  either ... <telnet
localhost 25> works sometimes,  other times I get "connection refused"
errors.  Same when I try to connect directly to port 25 from a remote
hosts ... sometimes it works,  sometimes it doesn't.

                                        Thanks.
