There are two stages:

  1. MTA handing off the message to the LDA

  2. 'deliver' LDA taking the message and delivering it to the 
appropriate mailbox.

The first stage is not determined by the dovecot.conf mail_location setting.

Add the following line to your sendmail .mc file:

define(`confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES',`True')dnl

and generate a new configuration.  Then restart sendmail and test.
