Look for the definition of Mlocal in your sendmail.cf (whose location
might be in /etc or somewhere, but modern Sendmail installations
usually have it in /etc/mail):
I just checked; in the Red Hat 6.0 sendmail RPM it's /etc/sendmail.cf. (had to
grep the RPM, part of moving in is removing sendmail and installing
Postfix:-).
$ fgrep Mlocal /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
Mlocal, P=/bin/mail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qrmn9, S=10/30, R=20/40,
If you see P=/some/thing/procmail then you are using Procmail locally
and don't need to invoke it via .forward. Usually, creating a .forward
file will not hurt, though (but I have seen some -- sadly, rather
vague -- reports that having a .forward when you don't need one can
mess things up on some systems).
Could be something like that is happening here; I just pulled a copy out of
the RPM and checked, and sure enough:
Mlocal, P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=10/30, R=20/40,
T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
A=procmail -Y -a $h -d $u
And in case it's any help, the procmail shipped with RH6.0 is 3.13.1-2 (that
-2 is the RPM packaging release).
