Remember that if sendmail is setup to include procmail  magic in
.procmailrc and tinkering with  .forward  is not needed.

On FC1 it is common to see procmail as a local resource for sendmail:
  $ grep procmail /etc/mail/*mc
  /etc/mail/sendmail.mc:define(`PROCMAIL_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/bin/procmail')dnl
  /etc/mail/sendmail.mc:FEATURE(local_procmail,`',`procmail -t -Y -a $h -d $u')dnl/etc/mail/sendmail.mc:MAILER(procmail)dnl
