courtesy of Google, here's a "fetchmail + procmail" crib sheet:
  http://ieee.uow.edu.au/~mjp16/misc/fetchprocmail.html

I think the key thing is you might have to add an explicit invocation
of procmail in your .forward file,
  "|<procmail path>/procmail"

or the longer form, suggested in the procmail mini-FAQ,
http://rhols66.adsl.netsonic.fi/era/procmail/mini-faq.html#forward

  "|IFS=' '&&p=/usr/local/bin/procmail&&test -f $p&&exec $p -f-||exit
75#whatever"

checks to see if procmail exists. Note that the path above will have to
adjusted
for your configuration. The double quotes are significant. Also, make sure
you get the permissions right (at least owner read, group and others read
only).
