sendmail doesn't handle local mail delivery; /usr/libexec/mail.local or 
another LDA like procmail does.  For instance, see "man mail.local":

        -h filename
                  Store incoming mail in filename  in  the  user's
                  home  directory  instead  of a system mail spool
                  directory.


and /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/mail.local/mail.local.c:

char    *HomeMailFile = NULL;           /* store mail in homedir */
