I am using Procmail v3.22 as LDA, Sendmail 8.11.6 as MTA on Redhat

Please advice how can I fix this error. Thanks in advance.
I suspect procmail is being called with the -t option, which
essentially says that sendmail should fail "softly" on a procmail
error. In this case, it actually will try to keep delivering the
message. To cause a bounce, edit the procmail line in your
sendmail.cf and remove the -t option from it.
Also, if anyone is interested, I have a warning script written in perl
that emails users who start to push their quota.
