Which, er, is what the ! uses.
You can use $SENDMAIL instead of punching in the path in your recipe. If
$SENDMAIL isn't automatically set properly by procmail, then you can SET it
to what it needs to be. Benefits are that (if your ISP wasn't hosing your
regular forward), the ! forward would still invoke whatever you changed
$SENDMAIL to be, and ALL occurrences of $SENDMAIL in your scripts would
point to the right program, AND, when running under a sandbox which might
redefine $SENDMAIL to point to a capture program, THAT will work as well
(whereas invoking sendmail from a hard coded path won't.

No need to put it in tickmarks either.
This works but then becuase of the -f it appends the following header,
and could be bad at some point:
X-Authentication-Warning: mail.local_domain.local: user1 set sender to
user1(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com using -f
You're not listed as a trusted user in the MTA. Not surprising, since only
daemon type users (including listserves) should be listed there.
I'd consider speaking with the admins of the system and asking what can be
done to allow you to simply FORWARD your messages. The fact that they
don't bounce them is irritating (be sure to send a test message from
another account to make sure they're not bouncing them to the original
sender though!).
I take it this could actually be either a Procmail, Sendmail or ever a
system issue. (Do I need to set each local users email address on the
system so that mails from are from their address and not local systems
location?)
It's the MTA configuration. They've probably got some rule set up that
discards the messages if they're outbound and not apparenrly from the local
domain(s).
