Yes it is, maildir support is for usage with MTA's like qmail.
Opps... so does this mean not to use it on a machine running sendmail?
No, sendmail (or just about any MTA) doesn't care what format is used
for storing messages. Even if it did, procmail with maildir support
will only store messages in maildir format if you tell it to do so by
putting a slash at the end of the folder name in a recipe (or in
$DEFAULT):
# no lockfile needed, it's maildir!
:0
maildir/
But, you should only use it if your MUA (mail user agent, or mail
reader) supports maildir.
My .procmailrc stopped working as soon as I installed the above
mentioned rpm.
This is most likely because either your home directory or the
.procmailrc file itself is writeable by someone other than yourself, the
latest versions of procmail are more picky about permissions than older
versions. To correct this problem, from your home directory you can run
the command
chmod go-w . .procmailrc

You must realize that the computer has it in for you. The irrefutable
proof of this is that the computer always does what you tell it to do.
