I believe sendmail does no file delivery. It uses the configured local 
mailer to deliver to local users, and it's up to the local mailer's 
configuration to decide where to send the message. (On Red Hat derived 
systems, such as Fedora, procmail is configured as the default local 
mailer. See sendmail.mc.)
