We replaced in sendmail.cf the local mailer by procmail.
As a result the .forward file of users do not seem to work anymore
to forward mail to another machine.

Can it be made so that the .forward file still works ?

Or do we have to write a script to change all .forward files
to .procmailrc files ?

Just a thought, perhaps you changed to a newer version of sendmail  
at the same time?

what are the permissions of the .forward and the parent dir?   
Sendmail doesn't like the .forward being writeable by others, or in  
a dir writeable by others
