Adding r= field into the Mlocal definition of sendmail.cf worked out. However, I dug around the documentation and found a macro one can define to achieve this without having to mess around with the .cf file.
I am adding this here for anyone who might encounter the same problem.
In an .mc file, you can write:
define(LOCAL_MAILER_MAXRCPTS',1')
To achieve the same effect.
Thanks to all for the hints.

Hello, I encountered a problem when trying to send an email to multiple recipients.

My MTA is sendmail I am using dovecot-lmtp for local delivery Mailbox format is mbox Configured managesieve plugin to listen on 4190. (not sure if this is even related but it might)
The problem I see is that lmtp(user1) tries to access the home directory /home/user2 and I cannot figure out the reason why. This only happens when sending mails to multiple recipients.
I see the that lmtp complains that it doesn't have execute permissions. But I don't want to place execute permissions for others on the entire /home/* dir structure.
as far as I remember there had been (or is) a bug in Dovecot, that privilegues are not changed correctly when delivering to another user. If that's the case, limit the number of recipients per LMTP message to 1, see r= field in mailer definition in op.me.
