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

Remove your .forward.  And try again.  If procmail is the LDA (Local
Delivery Agent), then you don't need to run it from your .forward.

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

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

        Mail -v your(_at_)own_address

That should pass the -v flag to sendmail.
