You want the mail to be delivered to the file /var/mail/username ?

I just typed at my machine (running freebsd and sendmail)

mail -s "Testing" cat at localhost
hello
.

and the mail got delivered to the file /var/mail/cat

How is your sendmail configuration, I guess you have done some changes 
and not using the default ?
