I'm in the process of replacing an older mailserver with a shiny new
mailserver running 4.5-PRERELEASE and sendmail 8.11.6.
All is well, except for some problems with local delivery of mail using
mail.local.
I'm running a fairly straightforward sendmail.cf, with the only real
significant addition being the use of drac for authenticated relaying.
With mail.local set in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf as the local delivery agent,
all local delivery using mail.local fails. However, those users who are
handling their mail via procmail invoked as a pipe from .forward are able
to have their mail delivered via procmail.
If I replace mail.local with a FEATURE(local_procmail) in my sendmail
config, all local delivery (via procmail now) works perfectly. How do I
account for this? I've seen different problems in the same vein in
searching sendmail archives and so on, but nothing quite like this.
The errors I see, both from the logfile and from a bounce message:

I'm mostly content to use procmail as my local delivery agent, but I'd
still like to understand what's going on here. Any ideas?
