You are very correct, save_name is set, so was copy.

my /var/qmail/rc:
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Mailbox sh -c 'accustamp | cyclog -s 500000 -n 10
/var/log/qmail'
Which says to deliver mail to each users local ~/Mailbox (an mbox style
file). This is overridden in my .qmail:
|preline /usr/local/bin/procmail
Which says process all mail through procmail. The procmail I have
installed is Maildir capable. My ~/.procmailrc (With most recipes taken
out for clarity):
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/log/log.`date +%y-%m-%d`
SHELL=/bin/sh
:0:
* ^(From|Cc|To).*mutt.*@mutt.org
mutt/
But mail from mutt.org gets put in /var/spool/mail/mark and here is a
clue. procmail _is_ processing mail, here is a lcip from the log file:
procmail: Lock failure on "mutt/.lock"
procmail: Error while writing to "mutt/"

Subject: Re: mutt & qmail & procmail etc
Folder: /var/spool/mail/mark
But it should create the new subdir as required. Looks like it defaults
to /var/spool/mail/mark when it fails. Unless I am just not reading this
right. Maybe I should just switch to maildrop, URL anyone?

I realise that and thanks again to everyone. I know these aren't mutt
specific but I think it would be _real_ difficult to solve this in
pieces since the parts are all interacting. I am carrying on this
conversation on the qmail list as well, sans crossposting. Confusion
reigns...
