OK I wouldn't worry about the hanging from this output. I suspect it's
just the SMTP client and/or server keeping the connection open in case
a subsequent MAIL FROM was on the way. However

That's definitely wrong. I wonder if your aliases file is to blame.

Is this not a circular definition?

Personally I would try to achieve what you are doing with a
/root/.procmailrc file containing

   :0c
   [email protected]
 
   :0
   /var/mail/root

Do you have an /etc/mailname?
