But sendmail is saying that it's delivered because it gave it to procmail, and procmail told sendmail that it got it. So as far as sendmail is concerned, it was delivered. Now if it's going to /dev/null, it's because procmail thinks that's the place to send it. Take a look at your procmail rules and see what you're telling procmail to do with your mail. My global procmailrc in /usr/local/etc/procmailrc includes a "LOGFILE=/blah" line that logs everything procmail does, just in case some of my procmail recipes does things I didn't intend them to do... Do something like that, and you should see why procmail is routing mail to /dev/null.
