What is the contents of your /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery file?

Is it ./Maildir    or ./Maildir/  ?

Also regarding Andrew Gould's post, in part below,

With the Maildir format, the second ":" is not needed in recipes, as no 
locking is needed, just one of the benefits of Maildir format over mbox. 
Mail is not stored on a spool, but as individual emails..


One other thing I just thought of...  I have this at the top of my 
.procmailrc file... (in my home dir)..

Put your paths here.. and

DEFAULT="~/Maildir/"
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/

You also need a catchall recipe at the bottom..

:0w
/home/yourname/Maildir

or some such..
