Uh, what do you think that recipe is doing?
what do youo mean this is just atest recipe

Yes, and your test isn't using an mbox - it's using a maildir - and your 
own variable name use even tells you that.  Connect the dots and figure out 
why it isn't delivering in mbox format...

I see no maildir format here.  Is see a variable named "MAILDIR", but
since the path being delivered to does _not_ end in a slash, procmail
does not use maildir format.  Procmail is using its directory format,
delivering to a file in the directory named "${MSGPREFIX}unique-stuff".
MSGPREFIX defaults to "msg.", while the unique-stuff is derived from
the inode-number of the file.

In rcfiles, MAILDIR changes procmail's current working directory.  It
has nothing to do with the maildir format.
