Well, I've found at least part of the problem.  We were trying to forward
to two addresses but it doesn't seem to be supported.  I only receive the
forwarded mail if there is only one address in the .forward file.  We want
to be able to have the mail stored locally _and_ forwarded onto another
address.  Any ideas?  We are using procmail 3.13.1.

Thanks,
