Or - strategically - you use dovecot's LDA which should know where to
throw the mails in.

For sendmail, read http://platyna.platinum.linux.pl/blog/?p=3:
Basically add somewhere in the middle of the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
(where the other FEATURE() lines are)
----  snip  ----
FEATURE(local_procmail, `/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver', `deliver -d $u', `SPhnu9')dnl
MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `-f')dnl
----  snip  ----
and add the end, we do not need the procmail-mailer (as above uses/modifies the local mailer)
----  snip  ----
dnl MAILER(procmail)dnl
----  snip  ----

Caveat emptor: It's Fedora/RedHat-world over here and installation from
RPMs. So check the paths;-)
