A suggestion for the FAQ (probably in the MTA section).  I ran into this
problem, and found at least one other person had the same problem in the
past two weeks, and he got no answer (on the list, anyway; I wrote him
privately and he'd figured it out).

Title: I'm using sendmail.  Why do confirmations trigger new
confirmation requests?

You probably have an entry in your /etc/aliases for your username (see
3.2).  A common mistake is to have "foo+*: foo".  This used to be
necessary with some older versions/configurations of sendmail, but isn't
with current versions; you can just delete that line.  If it's there,
sendmail rewrites "foo+confirm-..." to "foo" before passing it off to
procmail, so procmail has no chance of seeing the part after the "+".
