my experience was that if I told sendmail to forward to a SMTP server and
that SMTP server was a SIMS instance running in classic on the same box, I
got a panic.  If I let sendmail run locally and the destination was an
account on the same box, I got a panic or  a lockup.  I described this to
this list on 1/28/02 and got no response.  In the end I decided I'd rather
switch than fight, so I broke out an old server, installed 9.x, SIMS, and
Macjordomo and updated my DNS records.

I will be very interested to find out if the formmail.pl solution works.
