No, actually, as you cut 'n pasted the output, the files below are 644 not
755
That is 755.
edssvr => ls -l .forward
-rw-r--r-- 1 edssvr staff 56 Sep 26 17:28 .forward
edssvr => ls -l .procmailrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 edssvr staff 524 Sep 26 18:34 .procmailrc
edssvr =>
Are you a member of the "staff" group that owns the .forward and
.procmailrc? OR are you a member of "users" (or whatever group the "general
user polulation" are members of by default in your system)
If I recall correctly, you metioned earlier that you had the sysadmin move
stuff, I'm wondering if he/she (inadvertently of course!) did a chgrp on the
files thus excluding them from your invocation of procmail, ergo stuff will
be broken.
Your home directory must not be group-writeable, nor should your
.procmailrc. Adjust permissions accordingly on your home directory if
necessary (both the above files are OK), I just think the group thing is
wrong.
Note:
Esteemed fellow list members please savagely hack me to shreds if I'm
steering this poor fella into bad places!!
Other things to check;
Also, check your $PATH. If you can't call procmail from where it lives then
all else is for nothing.
Make sure that $HOME/mail is where the mail is, if not ask your sysadmin
(nicely)
What shell are you using? Begin your .procmailrc with (for example)
SHELL=/bin/sh
I recommend that you study Nancy McGough's Procmail Quick start Page which
can be found at: http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/ Clearly you
require some study beyond simply writing a recipe and making it fire. We're
pecking away at a problem blind here, so you need to begin filling in some
of the blanks on your own.
Anyway, Hope This Helps!

What are your permissions on your .forward and .procmailrc?
That's one possible reason stuff isn't working
