qmail only does variable expansions on lines beginning with a '|'
character. Other lines are assumed to be addresses or _exact_
filenames. In your case $EXT is being treated literally and you don't
have a directory literally called /home/user/$EXT.

The user adam should have a Maildir/ AND he should also have a ~/.qmail-foo
file that contains:

    ./Maildir

That will solve the problem.
