   I have been running smail 2.5 with ISC 2.0.2 sendmail for quite some
time now. We still haven't upgraded to 2.2.

  Make sure that /bin/lmail gets invoked with an argv[0] of lmail, rather
than mail. If it detects that it is 'mail' then it assumes you are sending
it and feed the message back into /usr/lib/sendmail.
