Procmail port 3.22 and FreeBSD 5.2.1

Greetings,

I'm a newbie on FreeBSD 5.2.1 or any FreeBSD version for that matter but 
I've been using Linux for the last 5 years.  I've recently attempted to 
get the Procmail port working on FBSD 5.2.1 but have not been successful.

I've searched high and low and found some really good docs, on how to do 
it to get it working.  Yes I've compiled and installed the port, that's 
not a problem.  Integrating into Sendmail is the problem,  but from pine 
if I

 | /usr/local/bin/procmail it will work.  

Has anyone had any trouble with procmail on FBSD 5.2.1 or any version of 
FBSD ? is there a trick to get it to kick start using Sendmail ? Looking 
at the maillog and /var/log/messages I do not see any errors of any sort 
regarding this problem.  Even creating a procmail log in the .procmailrc 
doesn't get appended it's almost as if It's not firing up.  I do believe 
the sendmail part is right I have done the following

Editing hostname.mc

FEATURE(local_procmail)
MAILER(procmail)  (before any local mailers)

make all install restart 

You'd think this would fix the problem, not.. still having a problem with 
the Sendmail integration of procmail.  I have it working on Linux.  I 
noticed a file mailer.conf -  do I need to do anything with this ?

Can anyone help ?

Thanks in advanced.
