but I don't understand how it get to my smtp. I fetchmail messages from 
that cityu pop, which would be procmail into my mbox. It seems that the 
attempt to relay the message happened during the procmail stage...

yes, I followed advices to allow only localhost and my own subnet in 
/etc/mail/access.
