Add a "c" flag if you also want to proceed with normal processing of
this message in addition to forwarding it.
mail/new mail. I also want the forwarded mail to go tru a filter-list
that is built like a list with som people, like the e-mail adress.
On which field? Filter out some people from whom you don't want to
forward mail?
The "* Some condition ..." line would then become
* ! ? fgrep -is "$FROM" filename-of-file-with-guys-to-filter
Messages which don't get forwarded will simply fall through in this
scheme. Check the procmailex(5) manual page for some more examples and
you should be able to construct a filter to your liking.
Hope this helps,

Troubles you will have: sendmail will probably not be in your path.
Often one defines SENDMAIL=/etc/lib/sendmail at the beginning of the
.procmailrc and then refers to $SENDMAIL in the actual recipes. Also,
test this before you put it in use (I haven't :-) Finally, set the log
to VERBOSE and look at what kind of values FROM is actually getting.
You will want complete valid e-mail addresses (no comments such as
real names etc) in the filter file.
