Procmail not working


I am using mutt, fetchmail and procmail. Procmail is not sending messages it is supposed to to the right folders. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I set up very basic files. Here is my .forward:

Code:
"|IFS= ' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #rafi"
And my rc.maillists:
Code:
:0:
* ^FROMrlurman@adelphia.net
rafi
I just wanted to try this out so I made a quick rule to send all emails I send to myself to the directory named "rafi".

Here is my .procmailrc file:

Code:
LINEBUF=4096
VERBOSE=off
MAILDIR=$HOME/muttmail
SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail
FORMAIL=/usr/bin/formail
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.maillists

I use fetchmail with procmail to get my mail with the command fetchmail --mda 'procmail -d rafi'


Now my procmail log file says the messages are going to /var/spool/mail/rafi instead of $HOME/muttmail/rafi. Can anyone spot anything?
