Any/Every command you pipe to from the aliases file requires a link in
the smrsh directory if sendmail has smrsh enabled. Redhat 6.2 does in
fact have smrsh enabled in sendmail 8.9.3 by default. I can't remember
if the rpm install for 1.94.5 puts links in /etc/smrsh automatically
for bulk_mailer, but it does put one there for wrapper. I also add one
for procmail, but I use procmail globally as well as individually.
To answer your question specifically though, all you need to do is put
a link to formail in /etc/smrsh. You might as well add one for procmail
while you are at it.
