I set up procmail using the man page and it works when I

This is my .forward:

ls-l shows:

I am using Red Hat Linux 3.0.3, procmail-3.10, sendmail-8.7.6.
Is the prog mailer in the sendmail.cf mention smrsh? If so, then
you need to put a link to or copy of procmail in smrsh's bin directory,
then change your .forward file to read:
No. smrsh is not mentioned.
If you're not using smrsh, then check sendmail's log file, which is
whereever syslog is dumping mail stuff.
var/log/maillog was showing that the aliases.db was out of date,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.
