Try this:

change Od in your cf so that mail gets queued instead of delivered in the
background. 

Send a piece of mail to the address you want to watch get parsed.

Crank up a script session, so you can capture everything in a file.

Say    sendmail -q -d21.12

Enough spooge will spew out to make your socks roll up and down. But if you 
print out the captured file and study it, you'll see exactly which rule does 
what when and maybe even why.
