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.)

Thanks, David. I was using 3.21, but I just downloaded & built 3.22 & it 
still didn't work .. so I downloaded 3.15-2 (just in case) & tried that. 
Using the simple recipe above, procmail is still delivering into 
/var/mail/dirk/msg.LDt (for example).

I'm running Solaris 2.6 if that's any use.

Is there a 'new', a 'cur', and a 'tmp' directory within the dirk
directory?
