The insufficient privilege error occurs because of the user that sendmail
is running as. If you modify the config so that
O TrustedUser=admin
O RunAsUser=root
O DefaultUser=admin
Then that should fix (or at least go a very long way towards fixing) your
problem.
Ensure correct directory permissions with:
$ chown root.mail /var/spool/mqueue
$ chmod 0755 /var/spool/mqueue
$ chown admin.admin /var/spool/mail
$ chmod 1777 /var/spool/mail

This occurs because procmail is running as user admin and will therefore
not have enough privilege to change to an arbitary user id. Hence my
suggestion above, which actually runs sendmail as root.
