what you have to do is specifically mention to sendmail you want to use
Procmail as your local delivery agent in sendmail.cf file.

 something like:

Mlocal,         P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9,
S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL,                                R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
                T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
                A=procmail -Y -a $h -d $u
That is if that what you want.


another thing is to give sendmail permission to run .forward files in users
home directories.
that you do by editing 
#O DontBlameSendmail=safe (see for examples in http://sendmail.org)

and another thing is to give permissions to programs to run through
sendmail.
something like: 

Mprog,          P=/bin/sh, F=lsDFMoqeu9, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL,
R=EnvToL/HdrToL, D=$z:/,
                T=X-Unix/X-Unix/X-Unix,
                A=sh -c $u


read manuals on sendmail distribution for more details

Subject: .forward file not working


I have loaded up 7.0 and am now working on getting procmail filters
oeprational.  However, I've run into a problem that has me stumped.  For
some reason my .forward file that contains the "exec
/usr/bin/procmail" line doesn't work.

In maillog I just get a message that procmail isn't available???  Is there
something in sendmail.cf that I need to configure??
