Try increasing sendmail's log level to 15 for starters.

Insert the following line in your sendmail mc file:

define(`confLOG_LEVEL', `15')dnl

(On VPS2, the sendmail mc file that you edit will probably have a name like 
/etc/mail/<hostname>.mc. That initial mc file was copied from freebsd.mc when 
you previously issued the commands "cd /etc/mail; make" )

Then generate and install the sendmail.cf and restart sendmail:

cd /etc/mail
make
make install
make restart

Then see if any more helpful information appears in /var/log/maillog. 
(Procmail is notorious for its cryptic error messages when invoked by sendmail 
to deliver local mail.)
