What's the difference between a car and a house?
Both can have people inside them.

sendmail transports mail between computers. procmail filters your incoming
mail. Other than that both deal with mail they have nothing in common.

In your case forget about diddling sendmail. Both sendmail and procmail are
installed by default by probably any linux distro. Create ~/.procmailrc and
your incoming mail will go through procmail. (procmail recipes take a bit of
getting used to, but it's well worth it - there is no other mail filtering
tool that even comes close)

man procmail
