I am in the process of moving from maildrop to procmail. The MTA on my
system is Qmail, therfore I chose to use Maildir format for my mail.
Procmail has been compiled to point to my spool at $HOME/Maildir
The fetchmailrc is invoking procmail fine, but it does not write to the
$HOME/Maildir/new directory. Instead it is dropping the mail in the literal
$HOME/Maildir/ directory. The LOGFILE too is written to $HOME/Maildir/
directory.

I suppose, I could change the drop location specifically to the "new" directory.
Then, the syntax of the mail file is different.
Procmail delivered file has - msg.V9x
Maildrop delivered file has - 970384606.32149_0.myhost,\=3331
How can I make Procmail deliver mail in maildir format? The version of
procmail on my system is v3.15
Procmail variables are as follows,
PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/local/bin:.
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR
LOGFILE=procmail.log
LOCKFILE=$HOME/.lockmail
VERBOSE=yes
Thanks for any pointers or info.
