You do not need a .forward file, Procmail is the LDA on the RaQ4. That is at
least on our RaQ4r. The big thing is to make sure your users directory and
the .procmailrc file are NOT group writeable. However, sometimes it is not
as easy to set permissions on the directory itself. If you 'chmod 644
<userdir>' and 'chown user.site? <userdir>', then do a 'ls -la', you may see
that the '..' or '.' directories still show wrong permissions or ownership.
In that case, do:

    cd /home/sites/site?/users
    chmod 644 <userdir>/.
    chown user.site? <userdir>/.
    cd <userdir>
    chmod 600 .procmailrc

I can't remember what the problems were, but we make a directory in the
users directory called 'filter' and put the '.procmailrc' file in there.
However, you have to compile Procmail to use that directory when looking for
the .procmailrc file (let me know if you need more instruction on that,
email me directly to be sure I get it). 

Hope that helps:)
