Just remember that procmail is the local mailer in many
configurations. He receives the messages from sendmail and put them on
the right places. The default configuration is in /var/spool/mail, but
it's not necessary that the delivery be made for that directory. In my
system the procmail delivers all messages to ~/mail/Mailbox. This way
it's easier to implement user quotas...
The delivery isn't a job for the MTA. It's a job for the local
mailer.
