Okay. The error description under `man procmail' says:
Error while writing to "x"
Nonexistent subdirectory, no write
permission, pipe died or disk full.
So you should check whether $HOME/Maildir/ exists first. Then
look fir no write perms. Is the recipe in Peter's .procmailrc?
Does the user whose id is invoking the recipe have write perms
to Peter's Maildir?
Procmail is failing to write to Maildir/, and I suspect you
haven't yet created the dir. Then procmail attempts a fallback
delivery to /var/mail/$LOGNAME, because that value has been
compiled in as $DEFAULT; but that write is the failure that
is reflected in your log.
