No, the best way is to send a mail WITHOUT using slocal. 
Then copy your mailbox to foo and debug slocal separated from sendmail. 

/usr/lib/mh/slocal -verbose -user sharat < foo

This is also a good way to test a new maildelivery file.
If this works try to use it with sendmail.

My sendmail dislikes ALL flags to slocal. I don't why and 
I'm running MH6.4 so I don't have any manual page to slocal
describing all the options.  If anyone have a manual page to
slocal I would be pleased if someone could send it to me.

About the bugs it was "some :-)" in the slocal, rcvstore and rcvtty.
But it was 1 year since I fixed them in 6.4 NOT 6.5. I didn't have
access to 6.5 sources. I asked for the diffs between the MH distributed
with bsd4.3 and MH6.5, but all I got was nilpointers :-)
