I realize that Daniel has resolved his problem, but I wanted to point
something out ...

procmail: Error while writting to /var/spool/mail/_1ZG,1W2_.servername"
procmail: Couldn't create or rename temp file "/var/spool/mail/il -oi

Note that "/var/spool/mail/" is exactly the same length in characters as
          "/usr/sbin/sendma"

I think you've discovered a case where procmail re-uses a buffer (either
on purpose or because malloc() returned a previous freed pointer) and
then prints that buffer without having properly nul-terminated it.

In short I think the error _should_ have been

 procmail: Couldn't create or rename temp file "/var/spool/mail/"

and the "il -oi" is a procmail bug sending you on a wild goose chase.
