Looks like your missing the open parathensis....I not sure that you even
need parathesis because you are only executing one command.
Try one of the two:
| (cat $HOME/somefile.txt ) | $SENDMAIL -t
or
| cat $HOME/somefile.txt | $SENDMAIL -t
I'm new to procmail too, so I don't know about the first line. :-)

Subject: how to reply with textfile?
Hi,
I am new to this list as well as to procmail... I was wondering how a
procmail recipe would look like if I want an autoreply sending out a
textfile depending on the from field.
Am I on the right track, trying something like this (which of course
doesn't work):

* ^From(_dot_)*someone(_at_)domain(_dot_)com
| cat $HOME/somefile.txt ) | $SENDMAIL -t
Any help is greatly apprecieted.
