Why do confirmations trigger new requests under Sendmail?

0

You probably have an entry in your /etc/aliases for your username (see FAQ 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 “+”.
