[Cialug] can procmail...

I have a plugin called email2trac that checks email and automatically
creates tickets in trac. I love it but twice now it's gotten into an
infinite loop when some spammer sent the e-mail so that the to and
from address were the same.

I'd like to add a measure of protection.

I was wondering if procmail can some how rewrite the from address if
it matches something like support at domain.com. That way when email2trac
grabs it, creates the ticket and auto replies there will be no danger
of a loop.

Does anyone know how to do this? I'm not very experienced with procmail.
