AFAIK SuSE uses sendmail,

MAILER(`fido')dnl

in mailertable it says :
.....
# sendmail will look for all non-local email into this file to determine
# the transport way to the next host. the destination hostname is used
# to find an entry in this file.           
.....

and it also contains no entries.
The problem arises only when i try to send local mail, where can i find the
configuration for this part ?
the users can only send mail to themselves and to other non-local accounts ...

Either procmail needs to be made setuid root, or the local mailer in
sendmail need the 'S' flag.  Does the mail.mc file contain any other
lines that contain the word "local" or "LOCAL"?  What's the output of
        egrep -i local mail.mc
