I thought sendmail was an MTA not an MDA like procmail.... 
> Sendmail is just a delivery agent - and it isn't the only one on the
> system. Typing "mail" will read the mail, which should make it go away
> for now. The message proper comes from login - probably - and you can
> turn it off by creating a .hushlogin file in your home directory. That
> shuts off almost all the login messages, so that may not be desirable.
> If mail is being delivered to your mailbox on that system regularly,
> you may want to find out why, and deal with it appropriately.
