We do something similar which is to set $MAIL="~/Mailbox-$USER" in the
appropriate startup files. But we do delivery into Maildirs and the
command elm is a shell script that converts the Maildir into
"~/Mailbox-$USER" and then invokes the real elm. Come to think about
it, it should be trivial to come up with a suitable qmail-start
invocation that delivers into "~/Mailbox-$USER" right away. Actually,
(I have not tried this invocation) something like

qmail-start './Mailbox-$USER' splogger 

should do the trick, shouldn't it? $USER is set by qmail-local.
