I can't tell from your logs, but do you have $OwnerEmail set up to
redirect to an RT address?  That's against the docs.  Something has
tricked RT into sending mail to itself (see the first log) and you
should figure out how that happened and make sure RT has a correct
OwnerEmail and RTAddressRegexp setting if needed.
