Dear Chan, I have some note regarding to .forward and procmail. Hope this note would help you :
"If you use Linux, you DON'T NEED TO USE .FORWARD to filter your mail. Procmail is already configured as the local delivery agent, thus the system will detect and use your .procmailrc without having to manually invoke procmail".
