  You can put

FEATURE(local_procmail)dnl

in your sendmail.mc file to generate your sendmail.cf config file. This 
defines procmail as your local mailer agent.

Then you put

:0
/USER.MAIL.DIRECTORY/

in /etc/procmailrc. The trailing '/' tells procmail to use MAILDIR (man 
procmailrc). Your mail directory can be /var/mail/username/ or 
$HOME/maildir/

You can also just specify

DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/

in your /etc/procmailrc. This sets the default mail destination to be 
the Maildir directory in the recipient's home directory in maildir format.
