Maybe I can learn something.

To my knowledge the recipients are the addresses given in RCPT, not the 
resolved addresses after aliasing and forwarding. So how do you detect that 
the user forwards? Does sendmail provide the resolved address, or do you 
have to mimic what sendmail would do?

I would expect that to loop, since the local recipient forwards to the 
address that is not accepting mail. How do you avoid that?
