With the following delivery instruction before the maildir delivery,
the maildir will be created if necessary (maildirmake lives in
/var/qmail/bin):
|test -d ./Maildir || maildirmake ./Maildir

> qmail-start ./Maildir splogger qmail

This is missing an final / at the end of Maildir to indicate that it's a
maildir and not a mailbox file. So change it to 
qmail-start ./Maildir/ splogger qmail

If you want to combine this with question one, use the following:
qmail-start '|test -d ./Maildir || maildirmake ./Maildir
./Maildir/' splooger qmail
(on two lines that is).

Umm, their mail user agents most probably "telnet" to port 25 to send mail,
too.
