how do i tell procmail to DEFUALT to delivering mail to qmail's ./Maildir/
format and not mbox as it seems to be defaulting to now.

Have you bothered to read "man procmailrc" before writing to several hundred
people, Zenn?

  If it is a directory, the mail  will  be  delivered  to  a  newly  created,
  guaranteed  to be unique file named $MSGPREFIX* in the specified directory.
  If the directory name ends in "/.", then this directory is presumed  to  be
  an  MH  folder;  i.e. procmail will use the next number it finds available.
  When procmail is delivering to directories, you can specify multiple direc-
  tories to deliver to (procmail will do so utilising hardlinks).


I think if your recipes are as carelessly thought through as your spelling,
you are going to have trouble with procmail.  (1) DEFAULT ; and (2) "caught",
not "cought" (which made me think of "cough" each of the three times I've
seen it so far).
