It's not clear what you want, here. Maildir delivery doesn't involve
any directory called "trash", unless you created a directory
confusingly "Maildir" which isn't one, but which contains a maildir
called "trash", having subdirectories "cur", "new", and "tmp".
What recipe did you try in your procmailrc? What is ~/Maildir/trash?
What did you desire to accomplish?

As you deduced, that was probably because of the "./Maildir/" line in
your .qmail file.
By the way, you can also get the job done using normal procmail, and
my "safecat" utility. The recipe in your procmailrc should look like:
:0w
<criteria here>
| safecat $HOME/Maildir/trash/tmp $HOME/Maildir/trash/new
That assumes, of course, that ~/Maildir/trash is a maildir into which
you want your messages delivered. Otherwise, delete the text "/trash"
globally from the above example.
You can find safecat at
