Do you use the latest SmartList release? I remember that this problem
was addressed some years ago but I am not sure whether the fix has gone
in an official release.

The following lines should catch the error:

  :0 w
  | formail -R"From X-From_:" -iDate: -iReturn-Receipt-To:
  -iRead-Receipt-To: \
  -iAcknowledge-To: | \
   $SENDMAIL $fOPT $sendmailOPTnorm $sendmailOPTp $maintainer

  :0 wfh
  | formail -A"X-Diagnostic: Maintainer $maintainer could not be
               reached"

  HOST=continue_with_../.etc/rc.post
