It works fine now ! 

Thanks for your help, guys!

The solution was:

mailertable:
htc.troeng.com	cyrusv2:/var/imap/spooler/lmtp

sendmail.mc:
define(confLOCAL_MAILER, cyrusv2)
MAILER(cyrusv2)
MAILER(smtp)

/usr/share/sendmail-cf/mailer/cyrusv2.m4:
Changed the Mcyrusv2 section, 
...... S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP, E=\r\n, ....

But the line A=FILE /var/imap/socket/lmtp did sendmail complain about, so I
removed it and now it works fine!

I also removed the htc.troeng.com domain from /etc/mail/local-host-names 

I don't use procmail at all, so I don't need it. I use Spamassassin via
MailScanner (www.mailscanner.info), works just fine!

Thanks for all your help and support!

//Henrik
