mail error 255

Dudes and/or Dudettes:

I have been using mhonarc 2.2.0 quite happily for several months now.
Recently i installed a new Web server, and things got weird.
cary (old web server) and duke (new web server) run as darn near
the same Linux stuff as i can tell.  The big difference is 
cary is a Cyrix C6/120 and duke is a dual Pentium Pro 200Mhz.
This SMP thing is the only clue i have, and its not a good one.

sarah (another old Linux box) receives my mail and procmail
forks off a copy to mhonarc on the Web server.

The problem is, 1 out of 100 mhonarc'd messages returns an error.
All data is written correctly, all web pages built.  The only
thing is these annoying failure mails.

Has anyone seen something similar to this?

Hmm, one thing interesting is the X-Actual-Recipient:
