Thanks for the tips.  I made some changes, read some docs, made more
changes, and now get this in my maillog...

I set both the .procmailrc and .forward permissions to 644.

|      For security reasons procmail will only use an  absolute  or
|      $HOME-relative rcfile if it is either owned by the recipient
|      or root and not world writable, or if the  directory  it  is
|      contained in is not world writable.

| .forward:

| .procmailrc:

| *!^X-Loop: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
| | formail -r -I"To:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" \
| -I"Subject:Mail received at DNSI account" | $SENDMAIL -t
| 
| (However, after DNSI changed ownership the new owner made a number
| of changes that broke the process ... and he was not very cooperative
| in getting it fixed)
