This is my .forward:

I am using Red Hat Linux 3.0.3, procmail-3.10, sendmail-8.7.6. 

You shouldn't need a .forward file for RedHat 3.0.3, as they use procmail 
as the LDA.  Verify that with
    grep procmail /etc/sendmail.cf

When I do this I get:

Mlocal,         P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@ShPfn, S=10/30, R=20/40,
                A=procmail -a $h -d $u

What are the permissions on your .procmailrc file, 

-rw-rw-r--   1 djohnson djohnson      284 Oct 21 07:44 .procmailrc

and what error messages are you getting?   

var/log/maillog was showing that the aliases.db was out of date,
so I did newaliases. I wanted to get a clearer picture of the
maillog, so I deleted it expecting it would be regenerated with
only the latest messages. But it was not regenerated.

(Send yourself mail with the -v switch to see what's up.)

I don't know how to do that. Sorry.
