:)You can enable procmail as mda in your .procmailrc. Here

Thanks Laurent !!
I'm using postfix, not sendmail.
1) I added the "mda" option to my .fetchmailrc file.
2) I changed the "mailbox_command" in my main.cf file.
3) I ran a "postalias aliases" command in /etc/postfix directory.
4) I deleted my .forward file.
5) I ran "/etc/init.d/postfix stop/start"
All is well now. I never had to do that before with other flavors
of Linux. I wonder what makes MDK different? Anyhow a great learning
experiance.
Thanks again.
