Every user has his own maildir, even with vpopmail, but I really dont
know if all vpopmail-users share the same .dot-qmail and $HOME.
Maildrop requires individual $HOME for each user, or an individual
.dot-qmail where you have a chance to adjust the environment.
What is your default delivery ? Maildrop must be mentioned there,
and you have to know the values of $HOME and $MAIL (or $DEFAULT).

Just create (touch) this file, dont worry about content until you
come to the part of the real $MAILDIR/maildirfilterconfig :)

In order for mail filtering to be enabled, it is necessary to
initialize the file named maildirfilterconfig in the maildir itself.

MAILDIRFILTER points to the file $HOME/.mailfilter for this user, which
is usually one level above the Maildir (../.mailfilter).
This file will be created by SQWebmail whenever you click on 'save'.
Use absolute paths if you feel more comfortable with them.
The contents of MAILDIR on the other side gets inserted into .mailfilter
whenever Maildrop delivers something to the Default-Rule (cwd at $HOME).
This is usually the same as $DEFAULT (./Maildir) but could also be
something like "| sendmail -f $SENDER [EMAIL PROTECTED]" if
you really want.
At my Toaster $HOME and $MAILDIR are located in the same directory.
