Sendmail relies on the local delivery agent to handle mail for the local 
system.  Procmail can act as a replacement for the generic LDA that comes with 
sendmail (sometimes called mail.local).  Have you told sendmail to use 
procmail as the LDA, or are you invoking procmail via .forward files or some 
other method?

In other words, you ought have FEATURE(`local_procmail') in your sendmail.mc 
file...
