Yeah, that can get tricky, and requires a fair bit of sendmail knowledge
to do right.  I have a setup where the default local mailer is dovecot,
but users can choose to get procmail (all mail is delivered to users
with system accounts); the choice is stored in a custom field in an LDAP
directory.  Since I haven't really tested and pushed sieve use yet, the
only server-side filtering is via procmail.

Of course, I've been writing sendmail rulesets for about 15 years now,
so it's second nature to me.  sendmail.cf really isn't just line noise!
