You must specify a '/' at the end of the name of the maildir to alert
procmail that your desired delivery mailbox is, in fact, a maildir.
For example, my .procmailrc includes the following recipe to process
messages to this list:
:0
* ^TO_qmail
Qmail/
Qmail is the name of the maildir in MAILDIR ($HOME/Mail, in my case).
Procmail automatically delivers to the new/ directory within the
specified mailbox.

You probably will need to change DEFAULT to say DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/ if you
plan on some mail falling off the end of your processing and getting
delivered to the default drop.
