Mohammad,

If you want procmail as your LDA, then in your ".mc" file
specify FEATURE(`local_procmail'), rebuild new ".cf" file
and install as sendmail.cf (in /etc/ or /etc/mail/ depending
on how your sendmail was compiled).  Then restart sendmail
and it should be working.

To check before installing the new .cf file (which I recommend),
say "grep ^Mlocal /path/to/new.cf.file" and see if it says
"procmail" anywhere in it.

Now if you don't want to regenerate sendmail.cf (or have a
hard time doing so), you can fall back on the .forward file thing
described in the procmail manpage (look for the string 
"\.forward" in the manpage)
