mine looks slightly different:

Mlocal,         P=/usr/sbin/amavis, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPhn9, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
                T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
                A=amavis $f $u -- /usr/bin/procmail -Y -d $u
Mprog,          P=/usr/sbin/smrsh, F=lsDFMoqeu9, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, D=$z:/,
                T=X-Unix/X-Unix/X-Unix,
                A=smrsh -c $u

I think you should leave the "f" out of the "F=" - switches of Mlocal, the README.sendmail states:

| IMPORTANT NOTE: please have closer look at the mailer definition, especially
| the F equate (the mailer flags). You may copy the F= stuff out from your
| original sendmail.cf file, but be careful! You must not use the f flag.
| You may also add the A flag, otherwise "newaliases" will yell "cannot alias
| non-local names".
