Hi,

Here's what I did.  Don't put anything into your .forward.  Set up 
your .fetchmailrc to look something like this (omit dashed lines):

------- .fetchmailrc -------
#
poll zen.alb.khoral.com  
   protocol pop3 
   user jworley
   mda "/usr/local/bin/procmail -f-"
   pass XXXXXXXX
------- .fetchmailrc end -------


Set up your .procmailrc as you normally would...

Good luck!
