I've never heard of an MTA called Qmail. Perhaps you meant qmail?
(This distinction is noted in Dave Sill's ``life with qmail'', which
every qmail user is advised to read.)

As mentioned by someone else, MAILDIR in procmail actually specifies
the default directory to use when a relative (not starting with a
slash) filename is given as a folder.
You must, nonetheless, end the folder name with a slash to tell
procmail that you're delivering to a maildir.
Try ``DEFAULT=./'', if you have ``MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir'' as you have.
Not tested, but should work.
Hope it helps,
