Although it's not the most common configuration, ISTR that sendmail
can be set up to perform all deliveries via procmail (or insert-your-
favorite-alternative-MDA-here) by default, in which case it looks
immediately for a .procmailrc without using .forward at all.
But I don't know anything about that capability other than that it is
rumored to exist (all the boxes I set up use exim, not sendmail), so I
could be completely wrong.
