This supposed "qmail version" is nothing of the kind. It is a version
of procmail that's patched to accomodate Maildir, as well as mbox and
mh folders. If you've got a .procmailrc that looks like:
:0
* ^FROM.*luser@lusernet.net
$HOME/mail/foo
procmail will happily file the message in an mbox named "foo", in
$HOME/mail/.
If you instead do:
:0
* ^FROM.*luser@lusernet.net
$HOME/mail/foo/
It will attempt to deliver the mail to a Maildir named "foo".
If you've got a hashed spool directory, such as /var/mail/f/fo/foo, that's
not a standard way of doing things. Don't blame procmail.

Speaking as someone who's got more than a couple of years experience
configuring sendmail, I love qmail. Dan Bernstein has done a great job.
