And my logfile says:

wash(_at_)ns2 ('tty') ~/Test 356 -> less logfile
procmail: Skipped "e"
procmail: Skipped "-mail you sent is attached below" ; \"
procmail: Skipped """ ; \"
procmail: Skipped ""~~~~~~~~~~~~ begin returned mail ~~~~~~~~~~" ; \"
procmail: Skipped "| sed -e 's/[ ]*$//g' -e 's/^/ /' \"
procmail: Skipped ") | $SENDMAIL $SENDMAILFLAGS -t"

You almost certainly have a space or a tab after one of the backslashes
which is supposed to be at the end of each line in the recipe quoted
above.  (Either that or you didn't actually cut-n-paste it into your
message and there's really a missing quote somewhere, but I'm betting
on the whitespace after a backslash.)

Please trim your sig to be at most four (_maybe_ five) lines long.  No one
here needs to know your postal address, GSM address, or either FAX address
(or should I have sent this reply via FAX?).  The Dave Barry quote and
the ascii art are cute, once.  After that they just draw attention from
your question.
