>I have a small problem with not knowing where mail that sendmail is getting from fetchmail is going. I finally got fetchmail to retrieve mail from my POP3 host and redirecting it to port 25 on localhost. Now I don't know where it goes from there. It doesn't seem to be in the user's directory. A little background:
You might want to check the /var/log/maillog file on the machine where
sendmail is running; that should tell you the disposition of each mail
message.

I'd recommend putting the MAILER specifications last.
It's not clear (to me) why such things as "Cw" & "Dm" lines are being
put in the .mc file; I'd expect the domain ("Dm") to have been defined
in your /etc/resolv.conf, and the "Cw" entries to have been placed in
/etc/sendmail.cw.
