Oh, well I checked mailog.2 and maillog.3 and apparently this has been going on 
for quite a long time without my knowledge, so it has nada to do with policyd.. 
sorry to bug you folks.

Subject: [policyd-users] Postfix + policyd mail forwarding loop for local 
users...

Mail loops are a pain in any mail system.  Some, like PMDF, have
provisions to check for and deal with mail loops -- as far as I know,
postfix does not.  My suggestion would be to trap things like this with a
procmail filter for any user who ends up in a situation like this.
