My basic test is to run the following:

cat /etc/hosts | sudo /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d jhorner at arinbe.com

If that doesn't work then dovecot configuration isn't right.

There is a sendmail wiki page:

I can't help with sendmail all that much... I use postfix and call deliver 
like:

dovecot unix    -       n       n       -       -   pipe
  flags=DOR user=vuser:vuser argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d 
${user}@${nexthop} -n -m ${extension}

and permissions on deliver set to run deliver as root.

-rwsr-x--- 1 root vuser deliver
