Got it?

I guess the error does not come from your smtpd.conf, otherwise the log
would show:

Jan 26 14:05:20 mybox smtpd[23304]: delivery: TempFail for
cf077883a36bcae2: from=<od at mybox>, to=<od at mybox>, user=od,       
method=mda, delay=1h5m20s, stat=Error ("/usr/local/bin/procmail: not found")

and not:

Jan 26 14:05:20 mybox smtpd[23304]: delivery: TempFail for
cf077883a36bcae2: from=<od at mybox>, to=<od at mybox>, user=od,
method=mda, delay=1h5m20s, stat=Error ("procmail: not found")

At least that's what's happening on my system (FreeBSD 10.1-STABLE).

So obviously something else is calling 'procmail' and /usr/local/bin missing in $PATH!

Maybe 'smtpd -dv' shows more information?
