Procmail help please

[Wayne K9DI]

		Hello folks
	Wayne K9DI & Leader Dog Patriot here.  I am writing to ask for some help.  
I was reading a procmail quickstart guide (by Nancy McGough) and I got to the part 
about the .forward file.  The guide stated that most modern systems don't use 
.forward so my question is do I need a .forward file on system running FreeBSD 
5.2?
