Hi, I have exactly the same on my .procmailrc as the example shows (except
the email host, of course.) But whenever it tries to forward my emails I
get a suspicious rcfile referring to my procmailrc file.
Any ideas?

To quote the DIAGNOSTICS section of the procmail(1) manpage:

     Suspicious rcfile "x"  The owner of the rcfile was  not  the
                            recipient or root, the file was world
                            writable, or the directory that  con-
                            tained it was world writable, or this
                            was      the      default      rcfile
                            ($HOME/.procmailrc) and either it was
                            group writable or the directory  that
                            contained  it was group writable (the
                            rcfile was not used).


So, check the permissions on your home directory and the rcfile.
