You _want_ to use the dovecot:  mailer after all, don't you?

This is the other approach by replacing the procmail LDA. In this case 
testmail.com has to go into local-host-names ;-)

In Debian these lines are sufficient for local domains:
dnl -f $g -- sender
dnl -d $u -- destination user account name
dnl -m $h -- mailbox to deliver to (+detail part of address)
dnl -n    -- don't create new mailbox
FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/etc/mail/smrsh/dovecot-deliver', 
`/etc/mail/smrsh/dovecot-deliver -f $g -d $u')dnl
MAILER_DEFINITIONS
MAILER(`local')dnl
MAILER(`smtp')dnl

No need to specify procmail etc. Check the results in sendmail.cf:

Mlocal,         P=/etc/mail/smrsh/dovecot-deliver, 
F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
                 T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
                 A=/etc/mail/smrsh/dovecot-deliver -f $g -d $u

No procmail in there, except in various comments. However, I have 
experience with virtual users in this scenario.

You have to choose, whether you can replace the LDA for all users
(local_procmail approach) or need to pick Dovecot for specific users
(aka domains) -> dovecot: mailer approach.

Do you use mailertable and relay-domains?? For the dovecot: mailer 
approach only.

FEATURE(`mailertable')dnl
define(`confCR_FILE', `/etc/mail/relayonly-relay-domains')dnl

see echo \$=w | sendmail -d0.1 -bt

you should see at least localhost, the $(hostname) and the interfaces
in brackets.

Mailertable does not kick in, you have no 
FEATURE(`mailertable')dnl
I guess. Therefore the default esmtp: mailer gets used.

trace with: sendmail -d60.5 -bv addr at testdom.com

map_lookup(dequote, root, %0=root) => NOT FOUND (0)
map_lookup(host, testdom.com, %0=testdom.com) => testdom.com. (0)
map_lookup(virtuser, user at testdom.com, %0=user at testdom.com, %1=user) => NOT FOUND (68)
map_lookup(virtuser, @testdom.com, %0=@testdom.com, %1=user) => NOT FOUND (68)
map_lookup(mailertable, testdom.com, %0=testdom.com) => esmtp:testdom.com (0)
user at testdom.com... deliverable: mailer esmtp, host testdom.com, user user at testdom.com

If I had testdom.com in mailertable, the result would override the
esmtp output.
