What's different for you, then? Do you have a custom maildrop recipe? Let's see it.

What exactly "deliver: Is a directory" mean ...???

"deliver" handles mail delivery. If it starts a child process that complains about something on standard error, it gets logged, and deliver gets blamed for it.

It is supposed to be a directory after all, since it is a maildir ...

It means that something is a directory, when it shouldn't be:

[mrsam@octopus ~]$ mkdir ttt
[mrsam@octopus ~]$ >ttt
-bash: ttt: Is a directory

In addition messages are delivered alright in maildir subfolders using
dot-courier (.courier-zzzzz) ...!!!

Ok, then let's look at your .courier files, too.

I assumed that there is something peculiar in my maildir that confuses
mail delivery, so i created a brand new maildir. At first it worked fine
and messages were deliverd for a while but soon the problem appeared again.

That suggests a mail delivery script with a race condition that occasionally gets triggered.

When I switch to the old Netapp system everything works fine ...

Any ideas ...???

It could be that your old mail system was not triggering a race condition. Entirely plausible.
