Sorry for not being very clear.  As 'man procmailrc' says, 
'FROM_DAEMON' is shorthand for a lengthy pattern that is intended to 
match messages sent from daemons/servers/etc.  You can see the full 
expansion of the patttern down below.

Now, if you cross your eyes and squint, you will see that somewhere 
in the above pattern that it says:

! "From: root" 

(honestly, it really does).  I suspect you were testing your 
sanitizer setup with a test message from root to yourself.  The 
sanitizer will not 'notify sender' if the sender is root or any other 
daemon that matches the expanded 'FROM_DAEMON' pattern.  Try testing 
it again with a test message sent from a normal user and see if it 
works.
