I have the following lines in my sendmail.mc

define(`LOCAL_MAILER_PATH', `/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver')
define(`LOCAL_MAILER_ARGS', `deliver -d $u')
MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `-f')

which do essentially what you've done.

I've read that.  It tells of how to set up deliver as a per-user 
solution.  I extrapolated that info plus what you've given me into 
something that still doesn't work :(

Any more suggestions or information would be welcome.

As a side note, I notice that the deliver code isn't included in the 
last beta release.
