I'm guessing that USER is no longer defined.  If you tell procmail to
deliver to a directory with a trailing / (e.g., "/var/spool/mail/" --
exactly what you get if USER is undefined), then procmail will use
Maildir format.


It looks like that fixed the problem.  Thanks Lars!

You might want to switch to using $LOGNAME instead, anyway.  It
is part of the procmail standard varset.
