What do you want to do? If you have a mailbox system that does not depend on unix users existing (the Cyrus IMAPd is such a critter, complex though it is) then Sendmail can deliver to those mailboxes.
It's my understanding that sendmail doesn't deliver to mailboxes, but depends on a local mailer (the "mail delivery agent", or MDA, and typically procmail) to perform that function.
Strictly speaking you are correct, in the Cyrus case it is lmptd doing the actual delivery.
