Why use the nested block? Why not just do it all with a single recipe:

	:0
	* ^From:.*@sender\.domain\.org\.uk
	| /usr/bin/sendmail -fadrian at mcmen.demon.co.uk otheraddress at otherdomain.com

If you're not bothered about setting the from address, then just forward it
directly with procmail:

	:0
	* ^From:.*@sender\.domain\.org\.uk
	! otheraddress at otherdomain.com
