Sendmail doesn't deliver mail. It hands off local mail to a mailer
(e.g. "/bin/mail", "/usr/local/bin/procmail", or somesuch) for local
spool delivery. Look for "Mlocal" in your "sendmail.cf" configuration
file to see how yours is set up.
And you should be running Sendmail 8.12.8, not 8.12.6, to get the
security fix for the hole that's out there in the wild now ...
