Your procmail recipe is okay once the mail has got into your system. If the
IP address connecting to you is in any of the DNSBL's you've set up in your
sendmail configuration then the mail won't even get in. What I suggested
merely whitelists the sender domain so that it bypasses any SMTP-level
restrictions.

Unless there are several versions of the VPS1 with different MTA
configurations, you're running sendmail with its configuration files in
~/etc. ~/etc/access is one of those configuration files (if you change it
you have to run vnewaccess).
