Have you *ever* considered reading the man pages concerning commands you
are using?
from man procmail:
If procmail is not installed globally as the default mail delivery agent
(ask your system administrator), you have to make sure it is invoked when
your mail arrives. In this case your $HOME/.forward (beware, it has to
be world readable) file should contain the line below. Be sure to
include the single and double quotes, and unless you know your site to be
running smrsh (the SendMail Restricted SHell), it must be an absolute
path.
