I believe you have to use ISPICKVAL() instead of ISBLANK().

AND(OR(Email.Package=TODAY(), Fax.Package=TODAY()),ISPICKVAL(Salutation, ""))

Try this

AND(OR(Email.Package=TODAY(), Fax.Package=TODAY()),ISBLANK(Salutation))

 Field Salutation is a picklist field. Picklist fields are only supported in certain functions
