The correct formula in your ~/.forward for using sendmail, to make procmail work is

"userid" should be you userid! :-)
It has been a while since I used procmail from a .forward and I remember having to use some sort of incantation like the one above, but the procmail man page included with both rh9 and osx states the following.
Instead of using the system provided invocation of procmail when mail
arrives, you can control the invocation of procmail yourself. In this
case your $HOME/.forward (beware, it has to be world readable) file
should contain the line below. Be sure to include the single and dou-
ble quotes, and unless you know your site to be running smrsh (the
SendMail Restricted SHell), it must be an absolute path.
"|exec /usr/bin/procmail"
The first problem I see is that they talk about single and double quotes, but only show double quotes in the example. Might be a man page bug.
