"/etc/procmailrcs/add"

sendmail 8.9.x introduces a whole bunch of new security features, most of which
revolve around denying services in what could be an insecure environment.  
Check
the permissions on your procmail binary and the directory that it's in, then 
change
it *or* add the appropriate entry or entries to the DontBlameSendmail option. 

The error message was from procmail, not sendmail.  I've swapped mail
with Wayne and he either needs to change the ownership on
/etc/procmailrcs/add to match the DefaultUser option in the
sendmail.cf, or make procmail setuid root.
