If you're trying to create a qmail-style maildir,
:0
.$LISTNAME/
-- note the trailing slash! --
will get procmail to create the directory and its three required
subdirectories and to store the message under .$LISTNAME/new/. If
it's not for Courier IMAP, then you don't need the leading period. If
the directory already exists, procmail will use it.
You're tripping yourself up by specifying "/new" instead of letting
procmail do it.
This seems to be an undocumented feature (at least in the man pages) of
procmail. If I would hae bothered to check beyond the man pages, I would
have found this and other useful info regarding procmail and qmail
playing nice together in my qmail book (O'Reilly - John R Levine).
I leave this for others that use procmail as a MDA for qmail.
Happy mailing.
