You need to step up into the 3.15 series of procmail and it will work

Out of curiosity, why would the new version fix the problems I'm
having? I've checked out the new tarball, and it looks exactly the
same. The HISTORY file has no mention of maildirs, either. What
Huh? To quote the current 3.15 HISTORY file:
2000/06/20: v3.15pre
Changes to procmail:
...
- Rewrite folder type parsing: corrects handling of MH and
maildir style spools
...
Removed ':' and '@' from list of characters that can appear in
tempfile names
Those both affect maildir folder handling.
exactly is the problem that I'm having? Have I not read the manual
Version 3.14 didn't handle maildir-style mailspools correctly. In
particular, it won't create them correctly if they didn't already exist,
it would create a bogusly named directory, and if I remember correctly,
it didn't check them completely for proper permissions.
correctly or something? I'm finding much conflicting information when I
search the web for help with this - there is a lot of out of date stuff
suggesting I patch procmail.
All the patches I've seen simply teach procmail how to write to maildir
folders, but not how to use a maildir folder as the default mailspool.
Those are all obsoleted by version 3.14.
Am I doing something stupid, or is getting procmail working with qmail
just badly documented?
Yes.
