You don't need to do anything. It's just there.

Nah, just make sure that your target mailboxes end in a slash. For instance,
I filter all of my mail for this list into a separate mailbox:

  MAILDIR=/home/pcg/mail
  [...]
  :0
  * ^Delivered-To: mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  lists/vpopmail/

Thus, all of this mailing list e-mail goes into a Maildir at
/home/pcg/mail/lists/vpopmail/. I don't know if the trailing slash thing is
actually documented... :(

In any case, if you want to test it to just get all of your e-mail delivered
to $HOME/Maildir/, set up the following .procmailrc file:

  # change for your Maildir/ path
  DEFAULT=/home/macgyver/Maildir/

That's it!
