DEFAULT needs to be the name of the default mailbox file not just
the directory it's in. eg:

DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/incoming

If you really want to change the system default, you could
conceivably just possibly maybe put something suitable in
/etc/procmailrc. Recompiling procmail for that sounds like bad
juju, considering the man pages say that no matter what it
recreates /var/spool/mail/$USER if it doesn't exist.
