No problem. I'm the one asking a favor, so I accept the favors with
whatever terms they come. Thanks.

Bart, I feel we're very close to cracking the puzzle.  As I see it there
are two ways of looking at the problem. Tell me if I'm wrong.

1.  Since .procmailrc is properly executed, and the message is delivered
according to the recipe, is there way a way to only suppress the error
message that gets returned to the sender?

2. In its original form, you solved my problem. I was using the default
domain mailbox as my email mailbox, and everything worked. Now that I
moved to a proper email mailbox, the problems are back.
  I suspect that my .procmailrc is in the wrong place, and/or that the
environment variables defined in the .procmailrc file must also be
modified. But to what?

Very grateful for your help.
