I had a *lot* of trouble with procmail on the Raq2 and the Raq4. 
I've recently figured out that a lot of my problems with it on the 
Raq4 had to do with two things:
  1) The version of procmail on my Raq (v3.13.1) is *very* picky about
     directory permissions.
  2) A lot of the documentation floating around the net to do with
     procmail is for much older versions of procmail.

The best tutorial I found-that enabled me to actually get procmail to 
do anything useful on my Raq4-can be found at 
http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/

I'm not sure about the Raq3 but the Raq4, using a variant of RedHat 
Linux 6.x, is set up to automatically send mail through procmail. 
This means that you don't need to have a .forward file.  You can just 
have a .procmailrc file plus include whatever recipes you want.

Good luck!
