Re: mail problem:local users can't receive mail

["Darío Mariani" <dmarian@fi.uba.ar>]

I think you should use the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc macros, it's easier. 
There check if you have the following lines:

define(`PROCMAIL_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/bin/procmail')dnl
FEATURE(local_procmail,`',`procmail -t -Y -a $h -d $u')dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl
MAILER(procmail)dnl

And then run:

# make -C /etc/mail

and restart sendmail.
