newbie question

Hello all,

I have been lurking on this list for about a month now and I am interested
in setting up procmail on a Solaris 2.6 box that I administer.  I have
a couple questions from a sysadmin point of view on setting thing up
correctly.  My initial goals are to use Procmail as my local mailer
and to deliver mail to users home directories instead of /var/mail.

Question 1.
        When creating my sendmail.mc file do I need to list the
        MAILER(local) in addition to FEATURE(local_procmail)? I am
        using the sample from 
        http://www.iicons.com/sendmail/configme.html at the bottom of
        the page as an example.  Here it is so you can see what I am
        talking about.
        
        divert(0)dnl
        include(../m4/cf.m4)
        VERSIONID(`$Header$')
        OSTYPE(solaris2)
        FEATURE(nouucp)
        FEATURE(local_procmail)
        MAILER(local)
        MAILER(smtp)
        
Question 2.

        Is this all that need to be done to use Procmail as my
        local mailer?  From the reading of FAQ's and how-to's
        it appears so but the majority of the documentation that
        I read appears to be from an end user's point of view 
        who is trying to work on a system that the sysadmin will
        NOT install Procmail in any official capacity.
        

Thank you,

Jerry Kemp
