A common bug in procmailrcs :-)

   Comments
       A  word  beginning with # and all the following characters
       up to a NEWLINE are ignored.  This does not apply to  con-
       dition lines, which cannot be commented.

The "* ^Received..." is a condition line.  So it's looking for a line that
starts with "Received" and also contains "q at sunhelp.org #address we repond
too".
