By removing the lmtp, you tell sendmail not to use the Local Mail Transfer 
Protocol (LMTP) when it talks to the local delivery agent (procmail). You can 
read about LMTP in RFC 2033 (see http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2033.html, for 
example).

I can't tell you whether to use it or not. (There are many differing 
opinions--especially with regards to procmail--floating around.) It is 
*probably* better to use LMTP ... but I've noticed that procmail's error 
messages tend to be more cryptic when using LMTP. (In your case, maybe the 
error messages were more cryptic *without* LMTP?)
