Sendmail does not know anything about the mail storage, either it may be
mbox or maildir format. Sendmail always needs an LDA or could pass the
mail to an LMTP socket, like with Cyrus-IMAPd. With Sieve for filtering
there should be no need for procmail (though of course you can do more
'nasty' things than with Sieve - if always reasonlable?).

Cheers Heng :)
