Yes. Don't forget to 'maildirmake' each maildir first.

Starting from version 3.14 procmail supports maildirs, so it should
have some kind of documentation. But the only significant things that
differ from mbox are that you don't need locking and you need a
forward slash ("/") at the end of a folder name.

I would highly recommend using a filtering program such as procmail or
maildrop. For procmail simply put:
| preline procmail
in your .qmail file and create your .procmailrc as usual.
