I think you just found out ;-)
/* era */
Quoting man procmailrc:
Recipe action line
The action line can start with the following characters:
! Forwards to all the specified mail addresses.
| Starts the specified program, possibly in $SHELL if any of the charac-
ters $SHELLMETAS are spotted. You can optionally prepend this pipe
Think of it as a coincidence that the forwarding action actually
happens to invoke sendmail, currently. Nothing more, nothing less.
