A what? "man procmailex" has examples in it showing how to do this.
If procmail is set up as the system MDA (as it is on most modern
Linuxes), plunking the |/usr/bin/procmail thing in ~/.forward will
invoke procmail on incoming mail. Depending on your MTA, the contents
of .forward will be different. The one above is for exim. man
procmail explains it.
