I run fetchmail as a daemon. In the /etc/init.d/fetchmail stands:
# Defaults
DAEMON=/usr/bin/fetchmail
CONFFILE=/etc/fetchmailrc
OPTIONS="-f $CONFFILE"
PIDFILE=/var/run/fetchmail/.fetchmail.pid
UIDL=/var/mail/.fetchmail-UIDL-cache
USER=fetchmail

Now I edit my .procmailrc like abowe. I moved the .forward file.
I restart exim4 and fetchmail daemon, but nothing new happen.

Yes, I'm wanting a single drop.
