Hi all, I'm using procmail 3.22 (comes with CentOS 5) and am running
into an issue trying to tell procmail to deliver my messages to a
Maildir style mailbox outside of my home directory:

MAILDIR=/var/mail/vhosts/bludgeon.org/rayvd/Maildir/
# MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/

Normaly the Maildir should NOT end in "/"

DEFAULT=$MAILDIR
                  ^
...but should be added here

/var/mail/vhosts/bludgeon.org/rayvd/Maildir:
drwxrws---  2 rayvd   virtual 4096 Jan 24 22:35 Maildir/

and what about the three subfolders "tmp", "new" and "cur"?

I think, the three subfolders are missing since if they have a
WRONG permission procmail would not even try to write MH files.

And the message ends up in a file called msg.NEAm in my home directory.
I tried changing MAILDIR back to $HOME/Maildir/ and making
$HOME/Maildir a symbolic link to /var/mail/vhosts/bludgeon.org/rayvd/Maidir, 
but this also resulted in the same issue.

Check, whether the three subdirs are there!
