Hi Henrik,

Sendmail (procmail?) does not seem to be sending the domain (the
"@htc.troeng.com" part) along with the username (evidenced by the lmtp
error -- it _should_ be looking for htc.troeng.com!user.postmaster).

Please post your sendmail's .mc file and, if you have made any changes
to it, your path/to/sendmail/src/cf/mailer/cyrusv2.m4 file. Also, have
you made any changes to sendmail.cf? If so, please tell us what these
were.

Mike.
