You mean sendmail doesn't append a mail to a users local mailbox?  Eg, mail
for user foo goes to /var/spool/mail/foo ?  How does it get there then?  Why
the extra level of complexity?  Why not do the right thing by default, but
provide a "hook" where you can insert a call to a program that provides an
alternate delivery method?
