ok... I'm using postfix, not sendmail. Here's what i did:
In /etc/postfix/master.cf I added

procmail  unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=R user=cyrus argv=/usr/bin/procmail -t -m USER=${user} 
EXTENSION=${extension} /etc/procmailrc

Then in /etc/postfix/main.cf I un-commented

mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -t -a "$EXTENSION"

and changed

mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/file/name

to

mailbox_transport = procmail

Then I created /etc/procmailrc thus:

###
#
# Master Procmail Recipe for Postfix > Procmail > Cyrus
#
###
DELIVERTO="/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver"
USERINBOX="$DELIVERTO -e -a $USER -m user.$USER"

#
# OPTIONAL: Include users' own .procmail recipe files
#
INCLUDERC=/home/$USER/.procmailrc

#
# Last but not least, deliver mail that falls through to the user's INBOX
#
:0 w
| $USERINBOX

And finally, in my home directory i created my own .procmailrc file like 
this:

# My Rules

:0 w
* ^TO.fedora-list
| $DELIVERTO -e -a $USER -m user.$USER.Lists.Fedora

:0 w
* ^TO.redhat-intall-list
| $DELIVERTO -e -a $USER -m user.$USER.Lists.Redhat-Install

:0 w
* ^TO.xfree86-list
| $DELIVERTO -e -a $USER -m user.$USER.Lists.Redhat-XFree86

Restarted postfix and Voila! All my RedHat-related mail is presorted!
