It sounds as though you're using an older version of procmail that didn't do
qmail-style maildirs. You
should be using 3.15-2 or 3.22. (Some other versions since 3.15 tried to
handle maildirs but have some bugs; earlier ones don't do it at all and
treat name/ as an ordinary directory, as yours seems to be doing.)

here?
No, don't do it that way. Upgrade procmail and then deliver to
/var/mail/dirk/ as you were doing, letting procmail handle putting into the
subdirectory. I take it that the value of DELMAILBOX returned by mailauth
already includes the trailing slash (or if not, you can deliver to
$DELMAILBOX/ instead of $DELMAILBOX).
