Thanks for your reply, David.
Here is my setup. And the procmail runs on SunOS 5.7. I put all the procmail
executables like procmail and formail under /bin dir of my local home dir.
my .forward file is:
"|IFS=' ' && exec /export/home/edssvr/procmail -f- || exit 75 #edssvr"
my .procmailrc file is(This is for testing. That is why it is very short.)
:0
*^Subject:.*test
in-testing
However, my procmail does not save incoming messages with the subject line
containing "test".
What else do I need to do if I like to run procmail locally?
Thanks.

No, they don't. Something must have been misleading if you found that in
official procmail documentation. If you found it on some procmail user's
web site, well, then possibly it was just a mistake on his or her part.
| But I wonder if procmail run correctly without 's' permission.
As long as procmail is called from .forward or from a shell and not as the
LDA, it does not need to be setuid (unless you want other users to feed
mail
directly to your copy of the procmail binary for delivery to you instead
of
simply sending you email, and that doesn't work under some OSes anyway).
