Try just having a .procmail file and no .forward. Depending on how you have mail setup... one default setup can include procmail as the local delivery agent. Thus you only need to have a ~/.procmailrc file. Procmail is sort of a magical easy tool. If you do not know how it is magic. If you know how, it is easy. So setup a dummy user with a mail account on your system and send it messages. This way you can abuse procmail for the dummy account and nor risk the loss of mail on your account. Tell us more on how you are getting mail onto your system. If you are running a client that is IMAP/POP aware I expect mail does not get delivered locally. It is simply slurped up by the client and procmail may not see it. Fetchmail on the other hand can slurp up mail and deliver it locally. Now procmail will see the messages to process them.
