At 9:12 PM +0200 10/11/07, Rene Borchers imposed structure on a

I can't solve it based on the minimal information provided, but it
seems clear to me that the place to look is in procmail. Postfix
hands delivery agents like procmail the same standard mail format
that it (or any other MTA) always has, and will deliver whatever mail
procmail hands to it as a (forwarded) message. Based on your
description, procmail is handling the details of forwarding, postfix
is just delivering a message locally and then getting another message
from a local submitter (procmail.)

I suggest looking at what has changed about the procmail
configuration. Likely places to look are the SENDMAIL and
SENDMAILFLAGS procmail variables, as those are used for forwarding.
your description almost sounds consistent with feeding a full message
with headers to something like 'mail' or 'mailx' instead of something
like 'sendmail' (either the Sendmail or Postfix version.)
