Obviously the sendmail  8.8.7 configuration files assume
that procmail as a local delivery agent accepts the
"-Y" flag (else why is it under A=procmail -Y -A $h -d $u ???)

But why does procmail reject option "Y"?  

Umm, how about, "the procmail on your system is too old"?  The -Y option
was added in version 3.04, released in 1994/08/02.  Try upgrading to
version 3.11pre7 and enjoy a sudden paucity of trouble.
