I had some problems with mail.local as well ( not w/ freebsd though ), so I
got rid of it. Originally, I replaced it with procmail, but then after
upgrading again, procmail quit working properly, so finally, i just
went back to using mail.
Using mail %u as your mailer should work fine. Here's my Mlocal
Mlocal, P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=SAw5:|/@glDFMPhsfn, S=10/30, R=20/40,
T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
A=mail $u
