Hi,
I still haven't gotten procmail 3.14 to work. Now, anyone emailing me
when I have the following file named as my .forward,
270 geosci:/home/dave% more .forward.x
"|exec /usr/local/bin/procmail"
they get (from a unix shell):
/home/dave/.forward: line 1: "|exec /usr/local/bin/procmail"...
Address dave is unsafe for mailing to programs
This message is from sendmail, not from procmail.
In a previous post, I noted:

The files and directory in question are as they should be for
ownership and permissions:
271 geosci:/home/dave% ls -ald . .procmailrc .forward.x
drwxr-xr-x 30 dave sysadmin 2048 Feb 4 12:09 .
-rw-rw---- 1 dave sysadmin 32 Jan 31 19:39 .forward.x
-rw------- 1 dave sysadmin 7345 Jan 20 10:52 .procmailrc
[...]
Try chmod-ing your .forward to 0644, or adding
O DontBlameSendmail=GroupWritableForwardFileSafe
to your /etc/sendmail.cf .
