I want to use procmail with maildir. Seems to work fine - I get new Mail
displayed in IMAP...

But filtering mail to dirs like ".Test" causes errors:

procmail: Match on "^Subject:.*test"
procmail: Error while writing to
".Tests/tmp/993810628.23253_0.cmail/testing.rclinuxnym.materna.de"
procmail: Couldn't create or rename temp file
".Tests/tmp/993810628.23253_0.cmail/testing.rclinuxnym.materna.de"

Any idea?

Your hostname has a slash in it.  That's actually illegal according to the
DNS RFCs and will cause problems like this both here and elsewhere**.
If you want to use maildir format, then you'll have to remove it.

For maximum robustness, hostnames should be composed solely of letters,
numbers, hypens, and periods that separate components.  Do not use a
trailing period.

** For example, the slash will keep sendmail from storing persistent
hoststatus information.
